Bueno, a ver que es eso del error 21:

1 - bootldr - Unknown exactly, something to do with checking the motherboard
2 - bootldr - Eeprom check failed
3 - bootldr - ??/not used

18 - - ??/not used
19 - - ??/not used
20 - kernel - The dashboard was attempted to load and failed; It was a cold boot, and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed, but it (for some reason) needed to be noted that the dvd passed the challenge/response authentication
21 - anywhere - This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag
Bueno, más o menos (mi inglés deja bastante que desear) dice:
Este error es a causa de que la máquina fue arrancada para mostrar un error, básicamente algo le dijo a la máquina que reiniciara (o que lanzara un .xbe) con esta ¿bandera?, y el código de error simplemente significa que ha sido reiniciada por la ¿bandera?.
Bien, no creo que con flag quieran decir bandera, pero no llego a más, y la verdad, aún traducido, me parece un mensaje indescifrable (no tengo ni p.i. de lo que le pasa a tu x amigo). Comenta las novedades que se sucedan. Saludos.
