I keep getting "SYS not validated" messages or "Checksum error at Block xxxx" when booting my A3000T/40. After repeated tries it finally boots properly and I can proceed. I just reformatted (low level), repartitioned and reformatted the drive hoping to cure the problem. It recurred the next day. I have EMPLANT and EGSSpectrum boards installed. The problem doesn't seem to occur when the Spectrum board is not activated. What causes such problems? I also get the guru far too frequently during this boot up process. Thanks for any suggestions.
