"early boot vfp : System alert"
I have a HP-UX 9,000 server that doesn't boot anymore.
I have the next error message in the console:

----------------------------------------------
**** EARLY BOOT VFP : SYSTEM ALERT *****
.....
ALERT LEVEL: 15 = Fatal hardware or configuration problem prevents opretion

REASON FOR ALERT
SOURCE: 3 = PDH
SOURCE DETAIL: 2 = ROM SOURCE ID:0
PROBLEM DETAIL: 0 - no problem detail
.......
-----------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Thoroughly analyze any GSP error messages again...but most probably HW issue (ROM or system board or???) I highly recommend calling HP

Already called HP; I assume that the problem is ROM.
