Old RS/6000 lost its mind
Some time ago I bought an old microchannel RS/6000 39H as a hobby toy. I mostly deal with newer Sun/Oracle equipment so I'm a bit out of my element.
The machine was running, AIX 4.1.3 I believe. Using it via IBM terminal. I stored it for what was apparently too long, and now it stalls out during built in testing.
I'm wondering if any IBM guys can help me solve this one.
Anyway, it dies out with flashing eights and I read out the error codes as 888-103-125-911-ccc-104-205-c09-888. I checked the old microchannel service documentation and I'm either not smart enough or am missing something as the codes didn't seem to translate correctly for me. I'm stuck.
I did all the obvious, reseated the boards, reseated the simms. checked the various power connections. My best guess is that it is some sort of memory issue.
If anybody has any insight I'd greatly appreciate it.

fs_checkvolumes
FS_CHECKVOLUMES(1) AFS Command Reference FS_CHECKVOLUMES(1)
NAME
fs_checkvolumes - Forces the Cache Manager to update volume information
SYNOPSIS
fs checkvolumes [-help]
fs checkv [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs checkvolumes command discards the table of mappings between volume names and volume ID numbers that the Cache Manager stores in
memory and uses when fetching data from volumes. The next time an application requests AFS data, the Cache Manager must contact the Volume
Location (VL) Server for volume location information, and then an appropriate file server machine for the actual data.
The Cache Manager updates the table of mappings periodically (by default, hourly), but this command is useful if the issuer knows that a
volume's name has changed, or that new read-only replicas of a volume have been released, because issuing it forces the Cache Manager to
reference the changed volume.
OPTIONS
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The following message confirms that the command ran successfully.
All volumeID/name mappings checked.
