Agreed!

I've tried to enableall first, then resetenv, it doesn't work. Now wait for the m4t32-br12sh6 to arrive, to see if there is any change.
But I have never understood why tezro has two RTCs, one in IO9 and the other in L1? What is the effect of their differences? How to check the setting of L1?

What happens when you try to power the system down from within the IRIX environment?

Maybe it's a power supply issue?

The power supply supplies a low voltage to keep L1 running permanently when the system is plugged in, and is sent a pulse to trigger it to power up and thus supply power to the rest of the system, by issuing a command to L1 by either pressing the power button, or by typing the command "pwr u" at the L1 prompt. There may be a problem on this signal line to the power supply?

JUST A THOUGHT!

How are the jumpers, which I've encircled in red set on your IO-9 card?

Just know that whatever the end result is, Tezro issues are rather new and we don’t have a huge amount of info. Often with Fuel and Tezro, it will take several reboots and possibly several steps to clear or resolve L1 or PROM issues.

What I’d expect is that the first time you boot the Tezro with a new snaphat, you’ll still see the same messages, but any corrective actions will now be saved. You’ll want to record the full L1 output on a serial console (please be prepared).

Then if you can in fact get an L1 prompt over serial with a Ctrl+t, you’ll want to try those reset commands people have been suggesting (they couldn’t hurt at this stage), then try using the L1 to power down with a “pwr d”.

Finally you’ll want to either try using the front button to start (see if that’s changed at all) or issue a “pwr u” over serial and see what happens.


I’d assume a failed boot the first or second times as the system discovers more issues and tries to auto correct them at each stage.

Hopefully you eventually get a fully reset and defaulted NVRAM and variables and then you can actually start seeing what’s left (if anything) in the way of messages and errors to tackle.

These aren’t like a PC, where a new battery resets everything immediately. The new battery will just retain the garbage/garbled settings, then the Boot process will discover this and normally try to reset or insert defaults at each stage. That’s where the corrective action comes in and things start clearing up, it may take a couple controlled reboots to clear. Hopefully either leaving you with the original remaining problem or no problem at all. We’ll have to see.
