I know this question isn't exactly related to linux, but I figured this would be
a good place to ask and the box *is* running Linux :P
I recently managed to get a HP C3600 workstation. It had been working fine for
the last week or so on serial console. I decided to try to get keyboard/video
working. I picked up one of those PS/2->USB adapters that handles the USB stuff
for the keyboard. I plugged in the keyboard and stuck in an ATI Rage II Mach64
GT card that I had laying around.
The machine came up just fine but it kept going to serial console. The video
card was detected:
Information Menu: Enter command > io
I/O MODULE INFORMATION
IODC IODC
Path Decimal Type Location HVER SVER Vers Dep
------------ ----------- --------------------- ---------- ---- ---- ---- ----
<snip>
PCI6 10/1/6/0 VGA slot 6 0070 8500 0x01 0x00
I ran a few more information commands and walked away leaving the machine
running. When I came back ~15 minutes later, I saw the following on the serial
console:
Main Menu: Enter command > pcoq000000f0 f000b748
000000f0 f000b74c
ior 00001f38
iir 53c63e73
pcoq000000f0 f000b748
000000f0 f000b74c
ior 00001f38
iir 53c63e73
(same 4 lines repeating 6 more times)
pcoq000000f0 f000b748
000
At this point, the box was locked up (not responding to any input over serial).
I shut it off and turned it back on. I hear the fans and HD spinning up, but all
I get on the LCD is blocks across the top row, and nothing comes over the
serial. I've unplugged the keyboard and removed the video card, but that hasn't
helped. Does anyone have any idea what happened or how to fix it?
