142.0. "Booting new KAV revision from Eprom " by TRN01::FORMIA () Tue Nov 08 1994 19:07

    HI,
    THANKS for your answer,
    
    I have verified the process of borning eprom getting different result
    but still not ok!
                                                 
    The ELN.sys I use is the same that works on previous KAV revision added
    to its 96 Kbytes.
    
    Now, with the new KAV I add the new revision 96 Kbytes and I born the
    eprom set.
    At the boot I get: 
    
    83 boot sys
    
    -PRB1
    
    2..1..0..
    -DKA0
    
    
    and nothing more instead of starting my application boot
    
    Have you an idea of what happens to address me in solving?
    
    thanks in advance

142.1...same problem...EICMFG::KAV30_SUPPWed Nov 09 1994 14:2311
    Hi Marino,
    
    I'm sorry, but we still have the same answer: you'r EPROM is not
    correctly programmed... instead of printing '-DKA0' your code should
    be running! The only explanation: your code does not start at the
    96k boundary... please check your process again.
    
    regards,

142.2I'll do better!!!!TRN01::FORMIAWed Nov 09 1994 14:389
    Thanks a lot for your time, I'll do my best to get it running,
    my burning procedure is a log time it's in production; but after your
    reply I'm going to test it better.
    Anyway I keep you informed.
    
    Thanks again

142.3final step on EPROM bootTRN01::FORMIAWed Nov 16 1994 15:5023
    Bye,
    finally I have the solution...
    here the story:
    
    first step I made error in burning the 1 Mbyte Eprom, but this was a
    delay of one day.
    
    second I made the right ones but SCB error xxxxx at boot time
    
    third I used that eprom set on a revision B kav30 board and are ok!
    At that time I tried with another revision c KAV30 and it's OK!
    I have been very unlucky because Ethernet boot works fine on the first
    board.......but I got sometimes UNXINIT 20090514 041F0000 01C forcing
    me to reboot until ok!. this last fault can be related....
    
    anyway, if I don't get news from you I send the board back.
    
    thanks for the time,

    Hi,
    
    do I understand right: your EPROM works fine rev B and rev C, but not
    on one specific board ? If that's the case, then yes, send it back to
    service...
