Evelyne
Hello

I have check the status LED, and i have this combination -O-O, seem to be Interrupt mask test failed..... So not the GR1.2 but the Motherboard....
If you have a Mobo , even a low end, make me an offer !

Eve
Hello

i have check the status led, and i have this combination: *o*o - Interrupt mask test failed

so i think my trouble is about the motherboard ! interup controler dead ?

what is your mind about this ?

Eve
thanks

IP6, i suspect the mobo

i'll do the log tomorow, if i have a PC with serial ports.....

Eve
Merci

Eve
Thank you Jan

My system is a 4d/25 (ip6)

I have a interup controller soldered in the mobo...

Weird

Eve
Hello

I have a spare R4400 250Mhz module for Indigo2

Give me your price or trade with PI parts !

thanks

Eve
Hi

I cannot stay with the idea to do not use my PI anymore, yes i know, i do not switch it on for month (who say years ?), i do not have much time , always working, take care of my sons, my husband etc....

so i try to have a dump on the serial thru hyperterminal., so i plug my cables, unplug the keyboard and switch on.....

and ? i have a display, with a diag, after i had a message because kb is missing, so i switch off, plug the kb and it boot !

now it do a FS check (slow, even with a 15k U320 disc....)

i cross my fingers

Eve
i have talk to fast

so i can have serial acces, and if i unplug the bk, the printenv write me: gfx:dead , no keyboard

if i plug the keyboard, system seem to hand after the post test, all test are passed, but nothing more..... beep and that's all. the test led is off after

Console DUART test PASSED
Memory walking bit test PASSED
Memory address uniqueness test PASSED
Interrupt mask registers test PASSED

Error-- keyboard not responding

Error-- cannot open console "gfx(0)"

initializing tod clock
setting secs=0 min=0 hour=0 day=1 month=1 year=0


System Maintenance Menu

1) Start System
2) Install System Software
3) Run Diagnostics
4) Recover System
5) Enter Command Monitor

Option?





i think i can suspect the keyboard......

Who have a keyboard for me ?

it hang when i ask a hinv via term...... strange ?

Eve
Hi Jan, i have use this system for less than one year, it always show me a tod clock defect....
env are good, console = G, so it might boot, and he had boot today !!! but it hang during FS check

the keyboard was only doing a small "click" sound, no reaction on the screen.

yesterday when i use it, i try to use the shell, and i only have code like [12a] etc instead of caracters, even ctrl+c or nothing work.... then the display switch off......

keyboard ? motherboard ?

i think the chip who read the keybord and mouse is the same for the serial port..... so it seem to be ok as the POST test said

Let me know about your price for the keyboard + shipping !

i'll try to run the diags ! IRIX 3.3 is installed on

Thanks

edit:

some more details.

when i boot up system and go to the prom monitor, the status led are 'runing", when i try a hinv, it stall and the system hang.

i think more and more about a GR1.2 board fail. i stripe it down with BP and ZB boards

Eve
so, some new...

i have config the env to boot without display (console = c) and i unplug the graphics board from to mobo in the emodule.
so it boot on cosole, and now it process with FS check......

keyboard ? gfx subsystem ? i'm a bit lost.

edit:

now i'm loged in.... seem fine , without display !!

The system is ready.

Newest member of the family: a Hofner violin bass. (Not sure exactly which model, but it's one of the fully hollow-body ones, not the one with a sustain block inside.) Picked it up because I've been wanting to try one and a guy on Craigslist was offering a good deal since he's in a Beatles cover band and already has two others. It's a bit scuffed up, but overall in good shape, and it sounds sweet as hell :D Pure bass on the lower strings with a nice woody pluck on the upper ones, plays beautifully, and sounds good even without an amp hooked up :)


Nice one !!!!

Cheers

Eve
Lol

Cheers
