It appears that we have a broken Sun.
Someone called it in at the SIPB office, so I went to go
check it out.
The machines are W20-575-6.mit.edu at NetId 18.187.0.36
Rebooting and powercycling did not help, and all cables checked out.
It was at the end of a segment but the teminator seemed well seated.
Here is the error message I got:
Warning /ionmu@0, 10000000/sbus@0, 10001000/espodma@4, 8400000/esp@4,
88000000/sd@3, 0
(sd3):
Error for command 'read' Errorleve: Fatal
Request Block 11664, Error Block 176621
SenseKey: Media Error
Vendor 'Seagate': ASC = 0x11 (hard data error), ASCQ = 0x0, FRU = 0x0
This appears to an important boot sector going bad. I was told to
contact you, and am doing so.
Thank you for your time,
Joe Foley
