#BB boot glitch
3 messages in this thread
Yesterday when I booted up, my BB did not kick in – nothing. An attempted
warm reboot on the PC side did not help. However, when I turned the
machine off and then on again, everything worked fine. Does anyone know
what could have been the cause of this problem? Is it likely to happen
again?
Thanks in advance…..Nancy
Nancy,
That happens in the PC world from time to time. It just happened on one of the
PCs here in my office a few minutes ago. There seem to be a number of potential
parity, memory and other errors that can occur on these monsters. If it happens
regularly there is most likely a problem. If it's a now and then thing learn to
love it. <g>

Nancy,
Although this is a difficult problem to troubleshoot at a distance, I
would hazard a guess that, for some dumb reason, the janus.library did not
load. However, one would expect that a warm boot should have helped but it
obviously didn't. It is also a possibility that the handler loaded but the
bridgeboard didn't boot for some strange reason. The warm boot didn't do the
trick, but a PCReset might have. Hard to tell. I've had occasional bootups
where the library failed to get loaded, but I never really knew why, but
rebooting usually solves the problem.
