Hi,

I recently salvaged a Fuel from being disposed. The system does not power up and I get a whole bunch of ALERT messages when connected to the L1 port on the system board:

ALERT: NODE EEPROM read error, no acknowledge
ALERT: Error initializing the NODE 0 monitor, no acknowledge
ALERT: Error initializing the NODE 1 monitor, no acknowledge
ALERT: Error initializing the NODE 2 monitor, no acknowledge
ALERT: Error initializing the PIMM monitor, no acknowledge
ALERT: Error initializing the ODYSSEY monitor, no acknowledge
ALERT: Error initializing the BEDROCK monitor, no acknowledge

and so on, complaining on voltages, fan speeds, temperature sensors etc. Then, after many lines:

****************************************
controller firmware panic!  resetting...

(if you see this, please email ssh@sgi.com and include
the output from the 'log' command and a description of
what caused the problem)
ALERT: Running Flash image A because image B failed during boot and is probably corrupt.

The same ALERT messages then repeat in semi-random order for flash image A. It does not drop to a prompt at any point.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I think it's unlikely both flash images are corrupted. Is it a PSU problem?

Thanks for any hints!
