This article was previously published under Q119726 SYMPTOMS
When you reboot the system you receive this error:
The system detected internal processing error at
location 01F8:0891. mfs.c:
PINBALL PANIC.
If the server is booted from HPFS Recovery, you may receive an error
indicating the disk is dirty.
CAUSE
This is almost always caused by hardware failure such as a bad hard drive,
loose hard drive cabling, and so on.
WORKAROUND- Reseat the connections for hard disk drives and cables.
- Boot from the HPFS recovery disk.
- Insert DISK 1 of the OS/2 Series LAN Manager 2.2.
- Run CHKDSK c: /f:3 from the A: prompt.
Perform as many hardware diagnostics as possible. If the problem persists,
perform an FDISK /D on the hard drive to delete the partitions (most cases
of the PINBALL PANIC error require this). Reinstall OS/2 and LAN Manager
and restore the server's data from tape backups.
