However, FB still will not boot up. The error is identical to that discussed in this thread by Intel. It seems FB is having trouble finding its boot disk. I was under the impression that only the FE machines were diskless, and that FB had its own local boot disk - in which case I don't know why this error is showing up. According to the linked thread, it could also be a problem with the network card/cable, but I saw both lights on the network switch port FB is connected to turn green when I powered the machine on, so this seems unlikely. I tried following the steps listed in the linked thread but got nowhere, and I don't know enough about how FB is supposed to boot up, so I am leaving things in this state now.

It's possible the fb bios got into a weird state. fb definitely has it's own local boot disk (*not* diskless boot). Try to get to the BIOS during boot and make sure it's pointing to it's local disk to boot from.
If that's not the problem, then it's also possible that fb's boot disk got fried in the power glitch. That would suck, since we'd have to rebuild the disk. If it does seem to be a problem with the boot disk then we can do some invasive poking to see if we can figure out what's up with the disk before rebuilding. |
