IBM PS/2 - Corrupted data & errors on reboot with Upgrade
Applicable to: World-Wide
Abstract :
Corrupted Data & Errors on Reboot w/486SLC2 Upgrade
Symptom :
IBM PS/2 8555SX systems with a Reply 486SLC2 25/50 upgrade board installed may exhibit the following error indications after rebooting the system:
1) "Error when reading 1, press Enter" message is displayed.
2) Corrupted FAT table on reboot after the system has been powered off/on following a perceived system hang. The hardfile must be formatted and reloaded.
Problem Isolation Aids :
The upgrade board was installed from an incomplete upgrade package. The complete package contains a special hardfile cable that prevents data held in cache during a power off/on cycle or a soft reset from being lost.
Fix :
Install hardfile cable FRU P/N71G2662 or cut pin 1 of the existing hardfile cable. Pin 1 is the red wire on the IDE hardfile cable.
If the failures persist, continue normal problem determination to isolate the failing FRU or application.
