I think this is just off topic (less than 10 years) but....

We have a 6530 with the same problem. I just ignore the errors and boot the
system anyway. The only drawback is that the system will not autorestart
from a power failure.

I believe the correct approach is what you outlined above. If necessary I
can dig out the appropriate manual.
