The KCC monitor GUI (top) was unresponsive to the mouse, I think this is related to the new type of crashes we've been seeing for the last few days. I checked and reseated the mouse connections back to the KCC video board (Vigra) but problem still existed, cycled KCC power and KCC monitor went dark but barrel turned normally to normal start position. Tried reseating the video cable on KCC video board w/o improvements. Turned off KCC and reseated the Vigra video board, upon turning the main KCC power on everything started like usual, problem fixed for now, hopefully it was just dirty contacts for the Vigra board. ___end___ Tue Jan 10 20:43:13 GMT 2012 MKIV End Cal Tue Jan 10 20:43:20 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Tue Jan 10 21:14:42 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol Tue Jan 10 21:14:45 GMT 2012 COMP Start Patrol Tue Jan 10 21:19:04 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY DARRYL: Tue Jan 10 21:28:02 GMT 2012 Paused to change occulter, going from existing #31 to #35, we will need to change the occulting disks through the year, I received a schedule and will put it on our calendar and in the occulting disk box along with changing instructions. ___end___ **CHIP PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Tue Jan 10 21:36:04 GMT 2012 Kii crashed with OK> prompt, had to do a warm reboot.

We need to log any error messages in the Console window and the state of the Status window until we can understand this problem better. It looks like the crashes happen while writing data and that the "Watchdog Reset" error messages that we sometimes see are related to hardware (RAM, HDD, CPU, etc) problems. Alice is setting up Kii to write data to a different place to see if that helps, maybe /local/d is the new HDD and the problem, that's where data goes normally. ___end___ Wed Jan 11 00:44:14 GMT 2012 MkIV 00_01.rawmk4 18_54.rawmk4 21_06.rawmk4 22_08.rawmk4 23_10.rawmk4 00_04.rawmk4 18_57.rawmk4 21_09.rawmk4 22_11.rawmk4 23_13.rawmk4 00_07.rawmk4 19_00.rawmk4 21_12.rawmk4 22_14.rawmk4 23_16.rawmk4 18_01.rawmk4 19_03.rawmk4 21_15.rawmk4 22_17.rawmk4 23_19.rawmk4 18_04.rawmk4 19_06.rawmk4 21_18.rawmk4 22_20.rawmk4 23_25.rawmk4 18_07.rawmk4 19_09.rawmk4 21_21.rawmk4 22_23.rawmk4 23_28.rawmk4 18_10.rawmk4 19_12.rawmk4 21_24.rawmk4 22_26.rawmk4 23_31.rawmk4 18_13.rawmk4 19_15.rawmk4 21_27.rawmk4 22_29.rawmk4 23_34.rawmk4 18_16.rawmk4 19_18.rawmk4 21_30.rawmk4 22_32.rawmk4 23_37.rawmk4 18_19.rawmk4 19_21.rawmk4 21_33.rawmk4 22_34.rawmk4 23_40.rawmk4 18_22.rawmk4 20_27.rawmk4 21_36.rawmk4 22_37.rawmk4 23_43.rawmk4 18_25.rawmk4 20_33.rawmk4 21_39.rawmk4 22_40.rawmk4 23_46.rawmk4 18_28.rawmk4 20_39.rawmk4 21_42.rawmk4 22_43.rawmk4 23_49.rawmk4 18_31.rawmk4 20_43.rawmk4 21_45.rawmk4 22_46.rawmk4 23_52.rawmk4 18_34.rawmk4 20_46.rawmk4 21_47.rawmk4 22_49.rawmk4 23_55.rawmk4 18_37.rawmk4 20_49.rawmk4 21_50.rawmk4 22_52.rawmk4 23_58.rawmk4 18_39.rawmk4 20_52.rawmk4 21_53.rawmk4 22_55.rawmk4 c20_24.rawmk4 18_42.rawmk4 20_55.rawmk4 21_56.rawmk4 22_58.rawmk4 c20_30.rawmk4 18_45.rawmk4 20_58.rawmk4 21_59.rawmk4 23_01.rawmk4 c20_36.rawmk4 18_48.rawmk4 21_01.rawmk4 22_02.rawmk4 23_04.rawmk4 18_51.rawmk4 21_03.rawmk4 22_05.rawmk4 23_07.rawmk4
