I've been having some hardware problems on and off with my VS4000/90,
but tonight it has completely stopped cooperating.
After successful POST, it refused to boot: "UNXINT". The sequence "H I
U" is in my fingers since my 11/785 days, I entered it and got:
>>> u
?33 UNXINT
004 80060000 00000000 E00448D1 03FDFDE8
000C0000 F0D00080 03FBC859 041F0000
>>>
So I experimented some:
>>> sho mem
MEM_TOP = 04000000
MEM_BOT = 00000000
MEM_NOT_AVAIL
-----------------
03FB5E00:03FFFFFF
>>> test mem
?? 041 5 MEM 0260
84 FAIL
>>>
I cycled the power and then all I got on the console was:
?? CRPT - Reenter bit clr
?? CRPT - Reenter bit clr
?? CRPT - Reenter bit clr
?? CRPT - Reenter bit clr
?? CRPT - Reenter bit clr
?? CRPT - Reenter bit clr
[on and on...]
I've tried swapping memory boards (I have 4x4MB and 4x16MB) in and out
in various combinations all night. No go.
The machine has had this problem on and off since I got it over six
months ago, but now it has become completely useless. Just as I was
going to test Michael's kernel!
Anyone know what all this means? Are all my memory boards defect?
