SBUS controller burnt on SPARC CPU-5V ?
Hi,
after hotplugging a SPARC CPU-5V onto a VME backplane, we couldn't boot from the SCSI disk anymore. Boot from SCSI CD-ROM didn't work either. At the OPB prompt, diag tests speak about DMA failure.
ok boot cdrom -s
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/<a href="mailto:espdma@5" target="_blank">espdma@5</a>,8400000/<a href="mailto:esp@5" target="_blank">esp@5</a>,8800000/<a href="mailto:sd@6" target="_blank">sd@6</a>,0:d File and argss
**aborted after 2 minutes**
ok test scsi
Dma register test -- succeeded.
Esp register test -- succeeded.
Dma read test -- failed.
Dma write test -- succeeded.
scsi selftest failed. Return code = -1
ok probe-scsi
**aborted after 2 minutes**
When we do not abort the probe-scsi, we receive a message telling us that one device on the "scsi bus may be hung" , but actually we removed all SCSI devices.
We think that some SBUS controller chip may be burnt, because when we try a network boot, we see the RARP packets flowing form the SPARC CPU-5V to our ARP server ( via cross-connect cable) but the SPARC CPU-5V do not see the answer. He keeps on waiting for RARP packets.
Seems like a cmos gate on the SBUS has been burnt during hotplug.
Does someone already have seen something similar ?
This is the last chance before giving up, any clue will be appreciated.
Thanks
