Oh well...

Some weeks ago (2-3 weeks or so) my ODW died apparently. The history:

- the machine ran very stable for weeks and months
- I bought a Netgear WG311T wifi card and put it into the ODW
- I got random lockups and crashes
- some day I got garbled screen output in the boot screen
- shortly after that the machine totally refuses to boot, no POST diagnosis from the radeon card anymore, no OF bootscreen anymore, just a lit power LED and a lit HDD LED (not flashing).

Sadly there is no output to the serial console either at that early stage - or I used the wrong parameters (tried 9600-8n1 and 115k-8n1).
I don't know, but my assumption is that maybe either the CPU died a sudden death or the Netgear WG311T managed to overwrite some NVRAM settings or similar (because the card is broken and wrote beyond its boundaries of the PCI bus, dunno if that's possible).

Currently it's not possible to switch CPU cards with my second Peg2, so I'm left with your advices and tips at this point (until I completed my move to a new house in approx. 2 weeks).

Even with bad NVRAM your system should still boot to the serial console and drop you into our debugger (IKARUS)
I think your CPU card is fried

We will continue this in email, RMA stuff isn't best done on a forum

I already feared that, but had still a little hope... *sigh*
No problem, you have my email, otherwise I'm on #pegasosppc on irc.debian.org.

Ingoj, follow the instructions from Matt. Send it back. We will see what we can do.

R&B
