[rescue] SGI TMEZZ Diagnostic failure? was SGI/PS2 Keyboards/Mice?

[David Holland]

Booting from CD gives me this: 

Testing TMEZZ option card
mg_tram_rev_nobuff failed. 
tram test failed
ERROR: Failure detected on TMEZZ board
Failure detected on the graphics board in XIO slot 12
Part number info:
	Part 030-0957-003 Name: GM20 Serial: DZD352 Revision: N

I don't have a OS installed at this point.  (Insufficient time).  So
running any of the graphics demos at this point is not a option.

I'm just clicking the little button that says 'Run Diagnostics'.  
The CD I'm booting off of is a 6.5.15 overlay/installation tools CD.

Googling around turns up a whopping _1_ hit on the 'mg_tram_rev_nobuff'
error. 

Anyone ever ran into this before, and these things are acutally toast? 
(If so, I'd like to go beat up on the guy I bought it from before too
much more time passes - as this was a specific concern)   Or are the
diagnostic tools somewhat broken, as wishful thinking, and vague hints
on various web pages would lead me to believe.

Any input appreciated.. 

Thanks, 

David Holland
