Re: help w/U60 - no OBP




Sorry, I should have been more clear.  This is on the serial port.

I have several U5s and U10, this is my first U60.  I was expecting more banner messages and POST stuff but this is all I got.  I know the nvram might be dead but even if it were I should get more than this, right?

Huh? Is that on a serial console or a monitor? The machine will default
to serial if it doesn't find a keyboard, and it should spew POST
messages on the serial port if it somehow ended up in diagnostic mode.
If you do have keyboard & monitor hooked up try holding Stop-N while
powering up ( and keep holding until the screen lights up ) in order to
override any weird NVRAM settings.

have fun
