scsi bios NOT installed, system hangs on bootup

Greetings,

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2300 with two pentium2 350mhz processors and 512MB RAM.
It is currently hanging on bootup. Here is the output of the boot process:

==========================

I ran some diagnostic tests on the system and here is the output of those tests:

==========================
diagnostics build: 1021

test errors:

embedded server mgmt - esm2 system board sensor check : fail
status: fail
status code: dos ddg-d esm2 030 036
device: embedded_server_mgmt
test: esm2_system_board_sensor_check

msg: an important event was detected in the esm log. critical error on entry 7
of 8. smb event was reported for intrusion detection sensor with a value of
0001h.

"" 5 of 8

"" 2 of 8

=========================

the double quotes represent that the information is the same as the error message above it with the exception of the entry number changing.

I was running SuSE 9.1 Personal on this system. However i am unable to boot into the O.S. now because of this error. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time,
