I have a midnight tune 3 cab (just the wmmt3, not the dx) that is just booting into a kernel failed mount image screen. This keeps repeating. I don't get any beeps either from the mother board, only if I don't put in any ram. I have all original hardware expect for ram. I know these units are picky about what goes inside. Can the ram be interchangeable or is it like the gpu where you can just use any ordinary part on the n2.

What else causes this screen?

Thanks

Not necessarily.

If it fails to mount the image, that means the password it's using to decrypt the image is wrong.

The password structure is denoted by the flags given which determine order (e.g. pdm which is the default). As a result, aepass does the following:

1. Reads /proc/bus/pci/devices and converts the first two values of every row (interrupt and VendorID+ProductID) to two 4 byte integers and appends that to the key data.

2. Reads /proc/ide/hda/identify (which results in the entire ATA IDENTITY buffer represented as 16bit byteswapped values) and grabs [...] values and appends to the key data.

Did you have the cab working before this? What made you change the ram?

i know this is a bit old post, but i have encounter such error because of the vga card. We had both japanese and asia version which use different vga card type. i accidentally used another one and result in that very error.
 
Only recently have I had a similar issue with my 3dx+ cab. I had been moving the game around in the garage to change things up with other cabs and after some time went by, I turned it on and it never booted up properly. It would just say "No Signal" on the screen and the cpu would try to restart itself.

After asking some friends that were computer-literate I decided to unplug everything and reconnect. This included removing, cleaning, and reinstalling the ram card. And just like that, the game breathed back to life.

Been running fine ever since.

So check your ram card and reseat. See what happens.
