Hi.
After getting the franken fuel to work, i now have the problem that it wont boot.
After loading the sash over network with bootp, i am stuck at the screen in the pic.
I set "L1 PROM request debugging is on"
I set "console ioc4" in the prom console.
But i dont have meaningful output on the console.
How can i get to the source of the error?
Fuel hangs at boot

There is no ioc4 on Fuel. You need to set console to ioc3.

Re: Fuel hangs at boot
Ok, even with ioc3 i dont have meaningful output on the console.
What im curious about is that i dont have PROM boot output:
There it stops, no further output.
On my other fuel i have massive messages showing up there.
How can i enable this?

Re: Fuel hangs at boot
I had a similar issue that turned out to be ram. There were no ram errors during boot but the system would hang. I tried the ram in another fuel and it works fine. Putting it back in the trouble system caused the same hang.
If the thing isn't on fire it's a software problem.
