Boot
Problems
and
Concerns
Depending
on
the
boot
device,
a
checkpoint
may
be
displayed
on
the
operator
panel
for
an
extended
period
of
time
while
the
boot
image
is
retrieved
from
the
device.
This
is
particularly
true
for
tape
and
network
boot
attempts.
If
booting
from
CD-ROM
or
tape,
watch
for
activity
on
the
drive’s
LED
indicator.
A
blinking
LED
indicates
that
the
loading
of
either
the
boot
image
or
additional
information
required
by
the
operating
system
being
booted
is
still
in
progress.
If
the
checkpoint
is
displayed
for
an
extended
period
of
time
and
the
drive
LED
is
not
indicating
any
activity,
there
might
be
a
problem
loading
the
boot
image
from
the
device.
Note:
For
network
boot
attempts,
if
the
system
is
not
connected
to
an
active
network
or
if
the
target
server
is
inaccessible
(this
can
also
result
from
incorrect
IP
parameters
being
supplied),
the
system
will
still
attempt
to
boot.
Because
time-out
durations
are
necessarily
long
to
accommodate
retries,
the
system
may
appear
to
be
hung.
This
procedure
assumes
that
a
CD-ROM
drive
is
connected
to
the
internal
SCSI
connector
and
a
diagnostics
CD-ROM
is
available.
