SUMMARY: E420 doesn' boot any more

<Original posting below>

Hi again,

thanks to:

Terry L Moore <tmoore@redwood.rsc.raytheon.com>,

for their quick responses,and special thanks to Michael Schulte for
calling me on my mobile and pointing me in the right direction, :-)

Some of you suspected a HW-failure, maybe a defective CPU - but,
fortunately, that was not the reason, :-)
The system was part of a cluster, and for this, it was equipped with a
qfe- and an SCSI-card. Well, it seems those cards leave some "traps" in
the OBP, even when you plug them out...
So, I did a "set-defaults" at the OBP prompt to reset the nvram to
factory defaults (thanks to John Rushe for the tip!), and voila, the
system boots! Now, the installation is working, :-))

Thanks to the list for the quick help,

Harald
