The OMSA did not show any log messages. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Kaufman at HQ [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 10:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Press F1 to continue after updates.
Are you getting a System FRU not programmed message? Or an ESM error on POST? If so, shutdown the server and unplug the power cords. Wait a few minutes. Hold in the power button for a minute. Plug power cords back in and power on. Error should go away & F1 prompt to continue should no longer appear. We get this occasionally on Dell Servers (26xx to Rxxx series), and the above works every time. Still haven't found out what causes the error or why it happens though :( Scott Kaufman Lead Network Analyst ITT ESI, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Kelsay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 9:34 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Press F1 to continue after updates. After rolling out the MS updates last night, I had three different models of servers that failed to restart, having the "Press F1 to Continue" message. Pressing it let it start properly, but I had to drive in and attach a keyboard to the front of the box to do it. Is this a coincidence, or has someone else noticed this happening after the updates? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
