90.0. "Has the VMB boot text to console changed recently?" by ZYDECO::BODA (Realtime Products Support) Tue May 25 1993 22:57

Hi,

A customer of our recently received a new KAV30.  Initially they thought
that it wasn't passing self test because the text to the console was different.
They indicated that it was hanging at self-test 2.

After some investigation, including running the continuous self-test, I found
that the self-tests were all fine.  However, the boot text appears to have
changed from older KAV30's (including ours).  When the self-test countdown
completes they get the following text and the LED shows a "2":
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 83 BOOT SYS


-EZA0

2..



%VAXELN system initializing

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this a change from older KAV30's where the boot text includes only the
following text and the LED is sitting at a "4" during the boot?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> b

 83 BOOT SYS


EZA0



%VAXELN system initializing                                                    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Confirmation of this change will reassure that the customer's KAV30 is ok.

Thanks,

Alan

90.1normal behaviour...GOBANG::LEMMERWed May 26 1993 12:339
Hi Alan,

	this is normal behaviour when you have a KAV30 rev Bxx.. the reason
	is a changed firmware in the rtVAX300 (explained in detail in the ECO
	and elswhere in this notes conf... long time ago...)

regards,

	Thomas
