| 13:51.50 | nyef | Is there someone here who can help me diagnose a failed XServe G5, or can recommend somewhere else to get help? |
| 15:04.05 | p8m | nyef: What do you mean by failed? |
| 15:05.56 | nyef | It stopped responding on the network interface a couple of days ago. Now, if I have a serial cable attached and hit the power switch, it says "get-adaptor-info, unknown word" before giving the normal "Apple RackMac3,1" banner from OF. |
| 15:06.38 | nyef | Using "words" doesn't report any words defined, using mac-boot either says "ALLOC-MEM request too big!" or simply sits there. |
| 15:08.17 | nyef | And from a clean power-up, it shouldn't be dropping to OF anyway. |
| 15:09.31 | nyef | It's not doing the bit with the debug switch at the front, either, where you can tell it to drop to target disk mode, OF, or whatever. It drops to OF before it can do that. |
| 15:11.33 | nyef | One other curiosity is that dev /memory .properties shows bank-sizes of 40000000 00000000 20000000 20000000 20000000 20000000 00000000 00000000, which doesn't seem right if the DIMMs are supposed to be paired. |
| 15:15.08 | nyef | I dropped a video card into it and attached a monitor, and if mac-boot doesn't fail with ALLOC-MEM request too big, it sits there with the blinking "can't find a system disk" icon on the screen. |
| 15:15.36 | p8m | huh that is weird. Have you tried taking some of the ram out? |
| 15:16.03 | nyef | Yes, just the bank closest to the center, and it changes that 4 to a 0. No other effect noted. |
| 15:20.16 | nyef | I'm starting to think a failing memory controller turning around and breaking the OF image or something like that. |
| 15:35.04 | nyef | Or just a failing solder joint doing the same. |
