Blade 1000 dead after
Hi everyboy!
I own a Blade 1000 with 1x600MHz CPU and tried today to update the old OBP 4.0 via serial console to the latest OBP (patch 118323-01) available.
I followed the instructions given and received at the end the expected "Programming successful" message, however instead of resetting after the programming the machine powered down (there was no power outage).
I tried to restart several times without success, the machine always powered down almost immediately.
I followed the recovery procedures given in the update instructions but the machine still powered down immediately.
Next I removed the NVRAM battery in the hope that some vars were stored in a wrong way.
Now when I power on the system i get the following messages on the console:
.Powering off system!
ok .version
.version?
ok help
help?
ok
Every command entered is returned with a question mark :(
When I simply enter "?" on the console, the machine hangs.
So I guess the OBP update went terribly wrong (but I really don磘 know why)...Is there a way to change/reprogram the Boot PROM? I have a similar Blade available which I could use for it, and which I updated last week without problems.
From what I understand so far it wont help to change the IDPROM with such a error indication.
Thanks for your help!
Chris
