Hi Group I have an APU2 installed running version 1.3.6. Due to a UPS battery change, they powered down the APU but had problems with the system on powerup. Symptoms were that you could not web or SSH into box. Attended site and plugged in a serial cable and found that the flash could not be read or there were errors (logs attached). I rebooted the box and it went into a Memory test for some reason which was taking AGES to complete:
Memtest86+ 5.01 coreboot 001| AMD GX-412TC SOC CLK: 998.2MHz (X64 Mode) | Pass 4% # L1 Cache: 32K 17824 MB/s | Test 42% ################ L2 Cache: 2048K 5145 MB/s | Test #5 [Moving inversions, 8 bit pattern] L3 Cache: None | Testing: 1024K - 1920M 1919M of 1919M Memory : 1919M 1547 MB/s | Pattern: 20202020 | Time: 0:01:08 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Core#: 0 (SMP: Disabled) | CPU Temp | RAM: 666 MHz (DDR3-1333) - BCLK: 100 State: - Running... | 59 C | Timings: CAS 9-9-10-24 @ 64-bit Mode Cores: 1 Active / 1 Total (Run: All) | Pass: 0 Errors: 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I got sick of waiting so I rebooted again and it all came up fine. I have attached a file with all the logs from these steps. The reason I am concerned is that I had another one of my APU boxes running 1.3.6 just lock up for some reason and was also fixed with a reboot. I could not find any logs for that one and it may not be related. So my questions are: 1. Is this just an unlucky flash problem or could there be something more sinister? 2. Why did it need to do a Memtest when it rebooted. Is this a BiOS thing? Thanks all. Regards Michael Knill
