| Hello Alpha fellows,
Original symptoms: I could only ping the server, telnet was not possible any
more...
After connecting a laptop on the console serial port I found the following
on the console log (repeatedly)
CIA machine check: vector=0x630 pc=0xfffffc0000855700 code=0x86
machine check type: correctable ECC error (retryable)
CIA machine check: vector=0x630 pc=0xfffffc00008556f4 code=0x86
machine check type: correctable ECC error (retryable)
.... etc
I pressed the reset button to try to reboot...
.. start booting
....
probing PCI-to-EISA bridge, bus 1
probing PCI-to-PCI bridge, bus 2
bus 2, slot 0 -- pka -- QLogic ISP1020
bus 0, slot 11 -- ewa -- DECchip 21140-AA
ed.ec.eb..
But then I got an endless series of error messages such as:
Processor correctable error through vector 00000063.
EI_STAT: FFFFFFF0C5FFFFFF EI_ADDR: FFFFFF00010500CF
FILL_SYN: 0000000000000094 ISR: 0000000100000000
Processor correctable error through vector 00000063.
EI_STAT: FFFFFFF0C5FFFFFF EI_ADDR: FFFFFF0001041D8F
FILL_SYN: 0000000000000094 ISR: 0000000100000000
.. etc
But the boot failed, because the above error repeated itself continuously...
What advice could you give me?
Do I have a memory problem, I suppose?
How can I find which RAM chips could be in failure ?
AlphaServer 1000A running Linux Red Hat 7.2
Thanks, Geert/
