Gallagher, James (Singapore) wrote: "I had a similar problem to this on a E420R which may or may not be similar to yours: On issuing /usr/sbin/shutdown -i6 -g0 -y the processes would be stopped as expected however the machine would then just stop and refuse to go any further (almost all processes were stopped however it didn't do the disks any favours). Like you I had to power down to get going again. It turned out to be an issue with the graphics card which wasn't at all obvious to me! There are patches available from Sun to resolve this issue as it's known on the E450/420R I'm not sure about the 220R." Bill Voight wrote: "Check your EEPROM settings. Had a simlar problem, but can't remember the specific setting I changed." Harrington, David B (Contractor) wrote: "Wally; What is the PROM variable "auto-boot?" setting? It sounds like it is set to false. The command eeprom will list all the variables." William Enestvedt wrote: "It may not be the same thing, but I had five E450R's doing the same thing. It turned out to be a patch for the video board. A side effect of applying the patch is that the CDE splash screen now displays properly, where before the center square was reversed-video!" Chris Kurtz wrote: "Make sure "auto-boot?" is set to true. Sun sets this to false whenever they do maintenance..." As to the responses, they are: 1. The bootparams are set to true. 2. I'd already patched the graphics card (109154-09 - Synopsis: SunOS 5.8: PGX32 Graphics patch) 3. Same as number 1. 4. Same as number 1. 5. Same as number 2. 6. Same as number 1. The solution is I received a reply from a list-user that I unfortunately deleted from my folder. He hit the nail on the head when he stated a SUN SE came and moved the CPU and RAM in different spots. I opened both E220R's and noticed (which I should've seen much earlier from the bootstrap. I always view it in verbose mode) the CPU was in slot 2 instead of slot 1 (CPU0 vs. CPU2). The RAM slots were completely allocated, and the graphics card was patched the the current revision. Once I've moved the CPU to the 1st slot on both systems everything was back to normal. These E220R's were purchased @ an auction. Evidently they had 2 CPU's yet the owner decided to sell them w/ only 1 CPU, yet that CPU was in slot 2, not slot 1. Hence, the system wouldn't reset unless the power was recycled (key + button). Moral to the story: Make certain the CPU is in slot 1 IF ONLY 1 CPU EXISTS ON THE SYSTEM! Thanks to everyone that responded to my thread. Sorry for the late summary. I'd just finished moving the CPU's to slot 1 and tested the resetting function on both systems from INIT 3, INIT S, and the ok prompt. - Wally Winzer Jr. "Auteria Wally Winzer Jr." wrote: > I'm encountering an unusual problem w/ 2 E220R's.
