Re: 520 boot problems

[Clay Carley <cbc@xxxxxxxxx>]

The SRC codes are listed on IBM's site, and I was able to find B114F6D2; 
"Processor chip missing fusemap data in VPD. Note: Repair the 
serviceable even that sent you here.  If the FRU list is empty, call the 
next level of support"

I wasn't able to find the other code specifically, but it may reference 
the lack of bootable media?

I've always just tried googling the SRC's, and had pretty good luck.
