2556.0. "AS2100A/unix 3.2D/ERACOM/Hang during boot up" by HGTIMA::CSCHAN () Fri Mar 14 1997 02:08


AS2100A system hangs during Bootup through series port in unix 3.2D. 
However, It is fine if boot from the graphic port. It also boot fine 
if booting genvmunix.
                                         
There was no such problem in V3.2B before the upgrade. And there has
no any hardware changing. 

Field engineer found that if disable the ERACOM (encaptioned card) 
through ECU, it can go through the boot up process. 


Any hints?
