Having realised that I could plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse, I discovered that the Control Station was stuck at:

"uncompressing linux... ok booting the kernel"

Is this terminal?, could anybody suggest how best to proceed.

thanks

Hi g3xer,

take a look at these two threads:

Many thanks, those links were useful.

Having followed the instructions, I have the following output from Hyperterminal

Am I correct in assuming that something has gone pop inside the Control Station. To make matters worse I dont thin the Celerra is covered by any support agreement.

If anybody could make any suggestions, I would be very greatful.

that needs to be handled by support. I would call EMC and see what they show for your Celerra's serial number. It might still be under support. Worth case scenario you can pay T&M (time and material) and get it fixed that way.

Thanks very much I will contact EMC in the morning. I appreciate your responses.
