Explanation: The Boot Agent was unable to read one or more of the adapter PCI configuration registers. The adapter might be misconfigured, or the wrong Boot Agent image might be installed on the adapter. The Boot Agent will return control to the BIOS and not attempt to remote boot. PXE-05: The LAN adapter's configuration is corrupted or has not been initialized. The Boot Agent cannot continue. Media test failure, check cable. Action: Try to update the flash image. If this does not solve the problem, contact your system administrator or IBM. Explanation: The Boot Agent determined that the adapter EEPROM checksum is incorrect. The agent will return control to the BIOS and not attempt to remote boot. Action: Try to update the flash image. If this does not solve the problem, contact your system administrator or IBM. Explanation: The adapter did not detect a viable network connection. Action: Verify that a network cable has been plugged into the Ethernet connector.
