GSM Genesis waiting for PowerPC Server -- One of our GSM genesis machines has been getting hung up on an error message "Waiting for notification from PowerPC that Servers are started." This only happens on the first boot; powering it down for several minutes then powering back up resolves the issue. I am not sure where to look for a source on this, has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance.
