Summary: meaning of green


	The original poster wants to know the meaning of a green screen
    during the boot sequence.  A followup article (from Major Robinson)
    states that "Green always means memory", I believe that this is only
    partially true.  From my recollection green means an address fault or
    error.  My 1000 started to have boot problems (just before my 2000
    showed up for the trade in, boo-hoo :-() and would show a green screen
    after completing kickstart.  I immediately suspected memory problems,
    but it turned out to be one of the 8520 chips (the one on the serial
    port).  This seems to be a "common" failure mode; ie the only people I
    know who have had mother baord failures have suffered failed 8520's.  I
    would check this first.

					-Good Luck
