Yup it is, seems you fixed it with the G7273

stays ON too. I am sure the RUN light should go OFF.

Perhaps your M7098 (UBI) module is set to autoboot from one of the proms
upon powerup, and that's why it comes up in run mode. This is a personal
preference thing, but I never have a machine autoboot to anything other than
the console emulator. I then always select the boot device by hand. Many
people instead set the switches on the UBI to attempt a boot from a
particular device upon powerup. This may be why you power on in run mode. I
would suggest that you look at the 10 position dip switch on the UBI and set
1,2, and 7 on and all the rest off. Then power up and see if you dont get
just the console prompt.
and nothing more, no ">>>" prompt
anymore!
Also, the FAULT lamp on the RL02 drive stays ON.
If I was to make a newbie guess... you have a problem with your RL02
subsystem (drive, cable, or controller) and your UBI is perhaps set to
autoboot the DL prom. So when you power it on it attempts to boot the RL02
and hangs because of another problem. Setting the switches as above would
identify this possibility. If it then comes up to the CONSOLE prompt
correctly, you can at least know it's time to zero in on the RL02 subsystem.
