New DS20E hangs at power on

All...

Have searched the archives but cant see anything similar to the problem I
have.

I am setting up (another) brand new DS20E system. h/w vendor has delivered
kit and supposedly verified it runs h/w diags etc ok. I wasn't present when
this happened. Needless to say - they are now off site.

There is no o/s on this box. I am going to clone it from another DS20E we
have.

I could get no response from the console so power-cycled the box. I get the
following displayed:

16:14:14 *** keyboard not plugged in...

16:14:16 bus 0, slot 9 -- pkd -- QLogic ISP10x0
16:14:19 initializing GCT/FRU at 1ca000

But then the system just hangs. 10 minutes later and its still the same.
If I power cycle it again, I get the same response - or lack of it.

I was expecting to see the console prompt (>>>) displayed pretty soon after
the
"initializing GCT/FRU at 1ca000" line.

Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas would be appreciated.
