Hi hackers,
there was a hardware failure 'couse we had to turn off the computer manually.
After the hardware change, the database reports exit status 512.

Can anybody help me what 'Startup proc 850 exited with status 512' mean?

You're showing us the wrong error message, ie, the postmaster's
complaint that the startup process failed, not the startup process's
report about why. What does it say before that?
