[comp.sys.apollo] SR9.7 help...believe it or not

Ric Houghton <houghton@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu> (05/24/91)

  There exists an SR9.7 node in my our network that is causing some
problems.  

  On boot up, I get the following message:

    ....(PM_$Init): 80080009
   Apollo phase II shell.....


   if I type stcode 80080009, I get:
      OS/disk manageer
      disk data check

  Does any one have an idea what's going on, or could someone suggest
a few things to try?   If you don't have any suggestions on a fix,
please suggest a rather large building that I can drop this thing off
of..... and an airline that has chep one-way tickets to Cuba.

   Thanks,

      Ric Houghton

      80009 means that the sector being read is not readable.  Usually
you can just add this sector to the badspot list.  The way to do this 
is get the node up to the boot shell and look at the lsyserr log.  This
will give you the disk address that is bad.  This block should be added
to the badspot list and salvol run on the drive.  In this case you also
will need to find the file that has the badspot and replace that file as 
well.  Salvol should give you this information.  This is usually not 
sufficient reason to replace the drive.  There is probably one sector
causing all the problems.

Possibly the disk controller is going bad.
Other option is a drop in the power line voltage has caused the disk to
write garbage on itself. If you can, INVOL it and reload. 

If my faded memory serves me correctly however, it seems I saw that more
often when the controller was going bad.
