Chances are an exception was raised somewhere and the system doesn't have a way to handle it. Since this is happening shortly after upgrading it sounds like the upgrade went wrong somewhere (bad checksum maybe). I'm not quite sure but being a 2000 and not a 2200 might make things a bit more difficult to repair. I'm relatively certain that the bulk of the OS is in one or more flash PROMS on the mobo. If they aren't soldiered on you might be able to reflash them. I haven't really gotten around to messing with a 2000 and OS v4 yet. My suggestion would be to do the hard reset first, then if the system finishes booting properly (system light flashes once/sec) quick try to get in with Assist and downgrade the OS. I have no idea how much help that is to anyone but I figured I'd throw in an idea just in case.

Yeah, I did the full reset to no avail.... I have been looking for a way to get out of Panic mode... not just for the server either...
I will see if I can get into the os quickly as you suggested... I even gave the one server over 72 hours to complete the cycle (what else was I going to do)... I had forgotten that this is how I lost the first server some months ago... I'll keep looking and playing...
Thnxs...
