Hello
We have a DECalpha 3000/700, with 128mb memory, running OSF v3.0.
It crashed and I cannot boot either from disk or distribution CD.
Here's what I get booting from CD:
======
INIT-S-CPU
INIT-S-RESET_TC
INIT-S-ASIC
INIT-S-MEM
INIT-S-NVC
INIT-S-SCC
INIT-S-NI
INIT-S-SCSI
....
INIT-S-TC0
AUDIT_BOOT_STARTS...
AUDIT_CHECKSUM_GOOD
AUDIT_LOAD_BEGINS
AUDIT_LOAD_DONE
**** System Machine Check Abort has occurred ****
PC = 00079924
PS = 00000000.0016FE66
MCHK+000 = 00000000.000001E0
MCHK+008 = 000001A0.00000110
MCHK+010 = 00000001.0000008E
MCHK+018 = 00000000.00104000
MCHK+020 = 000005F8.00000004
MCHK+028 = 00000000.0005AD2C
MCHK+030 = 00000000.00000003
MCHK+038 = 00000000.00000000
0=FFFFFFFF.FFFFFFF3
MCHK+088 = 00000000.00000007
MCHK+090 = 00000000.00001400
MCHK+098 = 00000000.00007400
MCHK+0A0 = 00000000.00121068
======
The machine then just hangs.
On trying again, i get the same numbers except for the last four
lines.
Is the CPU dead or is it something else?
Any pointers on where to look, etc would be appreciated.
Thank you
Sophia
