Let me start by saying that I have about 20 years experience with
PA-RISC workstations but this is the first Itanium server I've touched.

I'm getting the following errors:

Alert Level 3: Warning
Keyword: MEM_CACHE_LINE_0_WR_RD_FAILED
Memory ECC normal write/read test failed

Alert Level 3: Warning
Keyword: BOOT_CPU_LATE_TEST_FAIL
CPU failed late selftest

Alert Level 3: Warning
Keyword: BOOT_CPU_CONFIG_FAIL
CPU struct init failed
Logged by: System Firmware 1

When I then try to run a CO command from the monitor to start a console
on the main processors it fails (no shock there!) and hangs until I
press Ctrl-B to return to the monitor cpu.

I've tried physically swapping the two 1.06GHz cpus over but it makes no
difference, is this referring to an external cache I wonder?

The machine beeps twice on power up, but I don't think that's related.

Could this actually be a problem with the main (12Gb) ram? I've reseated
all of it.

Thanks in advance :-)
