Blackbird Down
markr87:
Hello all,
Last week we had a large storm come through and took out our power for a 5 days. Unfortunately my Blackbird was on when the power died. Even more unfortunately it will no longer boot up. It gets as far as where you choose which OS/kernel you want to use and it locks up. Has anyone here run into this before?

After a thunderstorm, I once had the problem that the Blackbird got stuck in a boot loop. I had to re-flash the BMC firmware. I did not even get as far as Petitboot.

@MPC7500 Thanks for your reply.
I have an extra BCM flash rom and have swapped it out. No change, still locks up at the same place.
I have the boot sequence set to boot from USB first if present and have tried a Fedora flash drive with the same results.
If I am quick I can hit "Enter" on the default "Exit to shell" I get the the flashing prompt with about 3 flashes before it locks up.
I have noticed "STB: VERSION verification FAILED" followed by "IMA_CATALOG verification FAILED" and "Error loading ucode lid. index=202d1" during boot.
I also noticed later in the boot sequence "Bootkernel verification FAILED".

Try reflashing the PNOR from a known good source, for example here:

The symptoms described sound like the PNOR may have been corrupted in the outage.

@SiteAdmin Thanks for your advice. It is greatly appreciated.
I reflashed the PNOR and no change. Just to rule it out I then reflashed the BMC to no avail.
