NV+ - Won't Boot, Flashing Lights, Bad Memory? (Solved)
I've been struggling off and on in my spare time trying to get my original NV+ to boot. I had a bad disk and after replacing it things got a bit screwy. I got a Kernel Error so I believed I needed to ...

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
I was somewhat a victim of poor timing with this entire incident.
I never had any major failure so I wasn't aware what the flashing lights meant. Since I was given many error messages about Disk 2 failing I decided to replace it. When I did I got some fatal type errors in the log saying that a newly purchased Disk 2 was bad that I decided to stop for awhile. When I turned the system on with yet another new disk the flashing lights were 1 3 4 with 2 flashing. I thought that meant I had another bad disk. No, it was my memory going bad. After a little searching here I saw that link to the PDF with a description of what those flashing lights meant.
At this point I put in disk 1 3 4 and the previous Disk 2 (which I thought was bad) and everything seems to be okay.
What a nightmare!
I'll be putting that other drive into one of my Ultras.
Thanks for your help, Stephen. I really do appreciate it.
Best,
Dave
