We are having trouble installing a new motherboard in a 3b2-400. We have done extensive reading of the manuals we have, but have had no success. A little history. :-) The machine was going fine, and a second machine failed. The second machine was far more important, so it was decided to cannabalise this machine until we could get another motherboard delivered. The machine has been physically transported during this time, so ideas of physical damage cannot be totally ruled out, but I doubt it. :-( So eventually we get a new motherboard, and it is installed by our own in- house system engineers. The configuration of jumpers, etc was the same, but when powered-up..... FW ERROR 1-02: DISK SANITY FAILURE EXECUTION HALTED At a later stage, this second message comes up. FW ERROR 1-06: BOOT FAILURE EXECUTION HALTED So we looked it up in the book. Not much help there I'm afraid. We can run a bootable floppy unix without trouble. The trouble is that it can't find the hard disk drives.( perhaps it can't find the controller ?) Filledt doesn't want to work, but the problem appears to be that the mother- board can't recognise ANY additional devices, except the floppy disk, which it recognises whether it is connected or not. Please help, desperate measures are required! E-mail will be fine. david -- David Masters, BHP Information Technology, Newcastle, AUSTRALIA. Internet: david@bhpese.oz.au Phone: +61 49 402132

FW error 1-02 means that the first disk could not be accessed. Check that the last disk on the control cable (the wide one) has a terminating resistor in place. Also make sure that the jumpers on the hard disks are not the same. One must be at the first jumper position (drive 0) and the other at the second (drive 1). (Counting from the left, when looking at the drive from the back.) Try switching the data cables (the small ones). One of these should solve the first error. Hopefully, that will in turn solve the second. FW error 1-06 means that the disk you specified was unbootable. This is probably because the motherboard couldn't see the disk. I am guessing that you got the second message by booting off the floppy, then resetting (or something like that). Filledt lives on the hard disk, and is run by the FW. When filledt can't be found you get the first message. You had already populated the EDT by running filledt from the floppy, so the FW got a little further and generated the second message. If you've moved any jumpers, try switching disks. You may be trying to boot off the second disk. Hope this helps, David Miller dcm@pyrite.nj.pyramid.com +1 908 602 6307
