3604.0. "no login box, today, hardware failure?" by HPSRAD::KOMAR (Paul Komar) Wed Nov 07 1990 15:09

    
    	There is a VAXstation 3100 8pln system in my group which can't
    	seem to get decwindows going enough to put the login box on the
    	screen.  This happens with both Ultrix V4.0 and VMS V5.3-2.  I
    	suspect that there is a hardware problem, although both the mono
    	and 8pln components pass self-test.  While we wait for FS to
    	arrive, I'll report what I've seen.
    
    Under VMS, with which I am more familiar:
    
    The DECW$SERVER_0 and the _WSA1: processes both settle down until they
    exist in LEF.
    
    When I execute @decw$startup restart, the system bugchecks.
    	Here's a portion of the error log:
    
    	INVEXCEPTN, Exception while above ASTDEL or on interrupt stack
    
           PROCESS NAME    DECW$SERVE
    
           PROCESS ID      00010019
    
           ERROR PC        8011D232
    
           ERROR PSL       00140009
    
    
    	Has anyone seen this?
    
    	Must I qar the bugcheck? (I don't have anymore information, and our
    	LAVC system disk doesn't seem to have enough space to make a large
    	enough dump file.  And I don't have anymore time to diagnose this)
    
    		What do you say?
