Hi Rita!
Umm...Remember I said our printer "worked fine, but had a few quirks"?
Well, I had to reboot the server, and it wouldn't come back on-line.
I hooked up a VT125 to the console port to check out what it had to say,
and here it is:
Ultrixboot (...)
bad partition...
Loading (a)vmunix ...
Sizes:
text = 395916
Read error: bn -= 1320, Fatal Controller Error
data = 182332
bss = 116236
Starting at 0x1a80
?04 ISP ERR
PC = 00000000
Restarting system software
Failure.
Loading system software
2..1..0..
(repeat ad infinitum...)
So, we have no printer. Brian Melanson said he'd take care of it, but I
believe he is on vacation. Though it is summer, we still make lots of use
of Chug, and it is sorely missed when it is down. I believe Brian said the
hard disk crashed when he tried to update the server less than a week ago.
I hope you can help us get our printer back, with or without the latest
software... Thanks in advance.
