• If HALT action is set to Default, Halt or Restart, then the system enters console mode.
The only errors defined as minor are errors in memory that cause pages to be marked bad
in the memory bitmap. There must be enough good memory left to allow an attempt to
bootstrap.
For severe errors:
The system always enters console mode regardless of HALT action after it attempts to
complete all tests possible.
The following example shows a system with a memory error that only affected one set of
memory out of two sets. Because some memory is still usable, the system proceeds to
automatic bootstrap if the HALT action is set to a boot condition.
