[comp.sys.xerox] 1108 flashing 0201 -- meaning ??

eho@clarity.Princeton.EDU (Eric Ho) (04/08/90)

Hi,

Does anyone know what does a flashing 0201 from a 0-boot (on an 1108) mean ??
I seem to get this more often these days upon a sysin+boot -- it sysin'ed ok
-- only stuck when trying to 0-boot.  Sometimes it also happens when I do a
manual 0-boot as well.  The strange thing is that if you presist in doing
0-boot 2~3 times, it'll boot up.

Usually, if the LED goes pass 0199 and can proceed to 0200 then it'll almost
always boot ok.  Otherwise, it'll simply go from 0199 straight to a flashing
0201.  Sometimes, at that stage, if I do a 0-boot again, it might work again
and boot ok.

Once the machine is up, it works fine from then on -- it is just only this
booting problem.

I'm beginning to think of either a cpu and/or memory board problem since the
proceed/status code is at such a low count (i.e. up to 0199~0201).

Can anyone out there give me any hints on this ?  I've no hardware manual to
interpret neither the status code nor the error code.

Thanks in advance.
