Hello,
Is it possible to screw up the hardware entirely from software? I made some changes to the 2.4.2 kernel to support save/restore of the event counters. It crashed and does not come up at all, what i would like to know is if there is any way to screw the board from software in such a way that power off and power on does not bring it up ?.
Its a dual pentium-3 machine. The power supply is gone also, the power supply from the crashed machine does not bring up another normal computer, also power supply from normal computer does not bring up crashed computer. so there must be something really wrong with the motherboard. Id like to know if it was because of me ..., is it possible to do things to the motherboard from software (I did change things in the kernel, timer ISR also), that wont boot the machine at all when power turned off and then on ?. from aboce is it very likely that the power supply went out and took the board with it ??
and by "doesnt come up" i meant, totally blank, no output at all absolutely
*Any* help/comments please!
Praveen C
