Boot Messages
Many boot messages are “normal” messages, and are described here
simply for information. Others are error messages, and include rec-
ommended action. After taking the recommended action for an error
message, reboot the node. If the problem has not been corrected,
contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support at:
Phone: 603-332-9400
FAX: 603-337-3075
E-mail: support@ctron.com.
Boot messages are listed below in alphabetical order.
Boot Time: nn/nn/19nn–nn:nn:nn
Meaning: This is the date and time of the current boot-up.
Action: None.
Buffers: Xmt count “n,” Xmt size “n,” Rcv count “n,” Rcv size “n”
Meaning: These values denote the numbers and sizes of the
pre-fetch buffers used by the LAN interface.
Action: None.
Can’t Initialize Memory, “NNN”.CMP
Meaning: There is not enough memory in the FRX6000 to
load the RLP software (if “
NNN
” is "
BOOTUP
") or
the VxWorks software (if “
NNN
” is "
VXWORKS
").
An FRX6000 has 1 MB of memory, but only the
640 KB of base memory is needed to load and run
the software. If one of these messages is displayed,
some of that base memory is faulty.
Action: Check all the installed memory for proper seating.
If it is all securely installed, replace each module
and reboot, one at a time.
Can’t open COFF file, “NNN”.CMP
Meaning: Either the compressed boot (if “
NNN
” is "
BOOTUP
")
or VxWorks (if “
NNN
” is "
VXWORKS
") file handle
could not be found during RLP software loading.
