Did my Blackbird just die on me?

Well, too late now.  :P

I probably found the culprit, the PSU seems to be bad. Another otherwise working x86 machine also proves to be unstable with it even at lower loads than 250W (it's a 550W). I have another PSU coming, will report if that solved my issue.

MPC7500:
Surprisingly, I have also heard of this problem more than once.
The main thing is that it works again.

I was not aware of this. This means that this error is always displayed?

atomicdog:
The TalosII schematic shows pin26 F20 of the BMC to be an input, SYS_PWROK_BUF, from the FPGA.

kth5:
New PSU arrived (same model that was in there before) and the Blackbird revived itself. A few boots failed with PNOR checksum failures which probably stem from my attempts to update with flaky power... Anyway, here's to another 3 years of 24/7. :)

Thanks everyone and I hope this thread may help anyone else who runs into this.
