    Thanks to Thom Blinn and Roberto Romani. RR informed me that the LED
    pattern indicated it was a failure with memory initialization. Though I did
    not state this in my original post, I had reseated the memory and removed
    the pci cards on by one to eliminate them as possible culprits. I moved the
    memory to a different pair of slots and that seems to have worked. I
    erroneously thought that poor memory seating would fail 100% of the time.

    Oringal post below:

    I have a pws that has trouble booting. It will power up, the disks spin up
    and I can open/close the cdrom, but do not get to the SRM prompt. There are
    eight intermal LED's that I am sure are for troubleshooting this and many
    other problems, but I couldn't find a clear description of what they mean.
    Does anyone have a pdf or html document that will describe this?

    My LED's look like this when hung:
    XX0X
    OOOO
    Where X is on and O is off.

    Also, any help in determining why this is happening would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    fyb
