Hi,
Today after I shutdown 4 of our DS and moved the memory chips to the fifth. So
it now has 96MB of RAM. All are 8MB memory modules. 8 of them from 5k/200 and
the other 4 from 5k/240 (they are different boards). However, after this
upgrade it refuses to boot.
It starts booting and the kernel (1.3.2) stops with this message:
[ preserving 94144 bytes of netbsd symbol table ]
Also, when I try to netboot from a FreeBSD (3.0 RELEASE server) I get IO LANCE
errors sts 0xa6b8
It seems that it cannot load any kernel (netbsd.ecoff, nfsnetbsd.ecoff,
small-kernel stripped).
The PROM is KN03-AA V5.2b which seems to support TFTP. The logs and tcpdump
show that it loads the kernel and then it starts IO LANCE errors.
Any help is much appreciated.
