Re: Re : Xserve boot issue - lock related



the lock is actually for all external ports. the only one i have not extensively tested was the rear firewire ports. but the rear usb are disabled while locked.

Hi list.

I have a rather strange problem with my Xserve.

Some of them (10 out of 15), when told to reboot,
freeze the reboot sequence on the very first step, resulting, a few seconds
later in an full-speed-fan-state?.
If I unlock the front lock, it continue its boot sequence without problem. .......


Conf :
Xserve G5 - 10.4.2


Is it possible that you've got a FireWire drive attached with something needed in the boot process on the FireWire drive? The Xserve G5 won't mount FireWire drives unless the lock is unlocked.



IIRC that's just for the front port. I've run lots of FW tape drives on the rear ports with the front locked.
