This sounds like a suspect FPU, which means the board is not repairable
unfortunately. Does the boot terminate, or does the machine keep going
anyway?

Replacement boards for LX's aren't too hard to get. I know that Minicomputer
Exchange in the US has some (email Chris Patterson - chris@mce.com - and ask
about them if you like), and other places probably do too.

Regards,

Craig.
