1112.0. "eeprom corrupted by memory test" by DYOSW5::WILDER (Does virtual reality get swapped?) Wed Feb 19 1997 23:19

    We have 2 brand new 8200 with the 440 MHz chip, latest firmware. Twice
    now, when we have run the memory test from the console, it corrupts the
    eeprom and we have to to a eeprom -b command. BTW, the test never
    finishes. Has anyone seen this?

    can you post a log file?
    
    What's the command string you have entered?
    
    What version of SRM Console firmware is installed?
    
    
    There are no outstanding issues with the memory test.

    The memory test does often run such that one can only power off/on the
    the system. I thought, it was a 'known' bug !
    I am going to a 440 Mhz CPU today, where the eeprom is bad. This
    happened after a crash, which probably comes from nsr. No memory test
    was run.
