Title: WMS BB2 BOOT-ROOT Partition DSS validation
Post by: bluechip_brian on March 14, 2022, 07:07:14 PM

Hi Guys,

Need some help please...

Any idea what is causing this error on a WMS BB2?

BOOT-ROOT Partition DSS validation FAILED with all Keys. Halting. , I/O error.

I have attached a screenshot of the error.

Usually a bad OS card will do that.  Unlikely but possible that you have an older bios that does not recognize the OS, but you would have to have a really old bb2 bios for that to happen.

Thanks for your input Rick!

It was the OS card, but not entirely...

I had the OS card replaced and it worked, but after a while the same issue occurred. I took another working OS card and once again worked fine, but stopped working again giving the same error.

So I decided to take out the NXT2 CPU and installed another working one. So far the game is working fine without having the same problem.

For some reason the original NXT2 CPU that was replaced is causing the OS card to get that error.

I've never seen that behavior before on a CPUNXT2, but stranger things have happened I suppose.  I'm glad you got it going.

Original CPU
Might not have been seated all the way on the backplane???

Perhaps maybe????

Hey BlueChip, did you ever get this issue resolved ? Im on the same boat as you were now, and Im having quite the headache. Got this error on a CPU I had purchased, so switched it back to the original one that was working for months, and now I find myself with the same error ! Cant seem to get past it.
