It happened once more with 0x3 .  Though the codes don't seem to be in 
the code lists that adaptec tech support has, it appears that when a 
fault happens, the internal LEDs will blink, making a specific HEX code 
to help figure out what the problem is.  This messages seems to be a 
report on what the LEDs are doing when there is a fault.

I replaced the cache memory module and the system has not had a problem 
since, after 3 or more problems in one day on Monday.

best regards

It happened again, this time 0x68 in the message.  The machine is 
running but the adapter resets itself and seems to go offline.  
Rebooting gets it going again for a few hours.  Adaptec tech support 
thought  maybe a bad cache memory module or something.  They didn't find 
a 0x68 for blink codes listed in their manuals.

I will be trying some other memory...

"asr0: Blink LED 0x3 resetting adapter" adaptec 2100S

2002-10-14 Thread Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC

Hi

I run an adadptec 2100S.  Today it displayed the following message, and 
while the system was still "running" and pingable, you couldn't do 
anything include login.

"asr0: Blink LED 0x3 resetting adapter"

Resetting the machine and going into the onboard ROM SMOR adaptec 
manager on the card, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.  All of the 
disks and volumes were "optimal" and no errors were reported on card.

I looked through both the mailist archives, in the adaptec manuals,  and 
the adaptec site to see if there was any sort of similar message listed, 
but I found no info.  Anyone know what this means?  I looked at the list 
of LEDs, wondering if 0x3 meant LED #3, but that does not  make sense, 
as that is

"3 Indicates the controller’s internal operating system is in its idle
loop."

Thanks for any help.  I have had some random freezeups on the machine, 
off an on, most recently an hour or two before this adapter reset 
happened, and I was wondering if they are related.

BY random freezeups, I mean hard freeze on the machine.  I had one this 
morning, two weeks ago, and 99 days before that.

But this message about the reset adapter did not hard freeze the 
machine. I just think they might  be related, like maybe the RAM 
module on the adapter is flaky or something.

Thanks
Chad
