"Bootable partition in table" message when bootup hangs on Profile

[Denny Jagard]

System worked for over a week.
Today upon connecting to a different surface, at a festival, the boot process couldn't get past the blue digidesign screen.

After the show (I used the locally provided Local Rack as well as the above mentioned surface), I tried again with my Waves license USB NOT in the hole by the power switch on the local rack, and it booted up. And stayed on when I put the USB in for the Waves licenses.

I've started Venue Local Racks with this USB drive in various holes over a hundred times...

I've scanned the USB for a virus, Norton not finding any.

System: Avid Profile, 5 dsp cards. Ilok in one USB hole. Waves USB in another. Sorry, I don't know the versions or firmware, but I presume it is up to date is it is a major vendor. Europe power.

Also I noticed the UPS was cycling occasionally, though the video screen never looked funky or any other symptoms of shoddy power.

Any ideas on what happened? If it is likely to work tomorrow? Things I should try? ... etc.

Thanks in advance,
Denny

So was the problem while using a festival surface and your touring local rack? Or...

Looks like your system is trying to boot from USB. Didn't ever saw that.
Maybe BIOS battery is low... But if so, you'll rather see checksum errors.
