AS 8400 problem...

We have an AlphaServer8400 with dual-processors. It comes to the console
prompt and doesnot boot. At console prompt, the error displayed is

"WHO_R_YOU mailbox failed on configured hose port 0
.
.
.
*** Errors during power up, check event log ***"

In the self-test ST3, the KFTIA module in slot-8 is reported to be
failing. The show config justs displays

-----------------------------------------------------------
P00>>> show config
        Name Type Rev Mnemonic
TLSB
0++ KN7CC-AB 8014 0000 kn7cc-ab0
7+ MS7CC 5000 0000 ms7cc0
8- KFTHA 2000 0000 kftha0

C1 PCI connected to kftha0 pci0
------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, we have a KFTIA module in the slot-8. But the system is
identifying it as a KFTHA module.

The show dev command just comes back to the srm prompt.
P00>>> show dev
P00>>>


The error log displays three main errors:
*** Hard Error - Error #1 Mailbox transaction error ***
..
..

*** Hard Error - Error #2 Data compare error ***
..
..

*** Hard Error - Error #3 Data compare error ***
..
..

with a long list of numbers & alphabets for each error. All errors say
that tiop_diag fails on device kftha0.

But, my fundamental doubt is that there is no KFTHA card in the system.

Now, is the KFTIA card really bad ? or the CPU is bad to recognise it as
KFTHA ? or should we do some settings/changes in environment-parameters or
in srm console ?

Any info about this problem will be of great help for us.

Thanks in advance.
