So, I finally got myself a Fuel. The hard drive was dead, so I replaced it. Luckily I also bought a SGI Software Library from the same fellow I bought the Fuel from, so I could install something on the new hard drive. Anyway, there is a slight problem: on boot, there is no output on my screen (LCD monitor, 1280x1024, connected via a DVI-to-VGA adapter). Sometimes when I boot there are vertical stripes on the screen. Not good. I connected null modem cable to the first (lower) serial port, and get this output:
(lots more of the "odsy dfifo timout" lines snipped), followed by:
I have taken out the VPro graphics card; the connectors look fine (no corrosion or other stuff) and tried re-seating it a few times. Still the problem remains.
Is my graphics card broken?
Or is there anything else i can do?
