Abstract
A system (100) and a method (500) for managing boot errors. When errors occur during boot, the errors may be recorded in non-volatile storage (115). The errors in the nonvolatile storage (115) may be retrieved, decoded, and displayed in a form more understandable to the user. Also, tie errors may be analyzed to efficiently detect and correct the causes of the errors. In addition, the analysis may be used to prevent errors altogether.
Claims12
A boot error manager (100) for a data processing system, comprising:
- a error log module (110) configured to log one or more boot errors of the data processing system in a non-volatile storage (115);
- and
- an error processing module (120) configured to process the one or more boot errors stored in the non-volatile storage (115).
The boot error manager (100) of claim A) wherein one or more of the error log module (110), the retrieval module (310), the decode module (320), and the display module (330) reside in one or more data processing systems.
A method (500) to manage boot errors of a data processing system, comprising:
- logging (510) boot errors of the data processing system in a non-volatile storage (115);
- and
- processing (520) the boot errors stored in the non-volatile storage (115).
