Hi folks, Customer had problem to interrupt the boot process. Console variable 'auto_action' was set to 'boot'. System was crashing and booting and crashing and booting .... Found out to stop this by pressing <CTRL> + <P> keys at his AlphaStation 400. Is there a general approach to stop this crash and boot loop besides setting the 'auto_action' variable to 'halt' ? Does somebody know, if there is a summary for key combinations on several platforms how to interrupt the booting process ? Any comment would be appreciated, Ludwig.

Hi, The easiest way is to just push the "halt" button. Your 400's button might be jumpered to do a reset, I think the manual tells how to change it's function (if not, someone else might know which one it is). Each platform seems to have it's own special way of doing things... -Brian [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
