We just got in 3 2100-500's, and I manged to get all three of them up
in ~2 days. Now, the question: one of the machines is supposed to be
able to be dual-booted as OSF/1 or W/NT. It came as a W/NT box. I
switched to the SRM, cloned a disk from another working box & voila,
it booted up fine (almost) as OSF/1.
The "almost" has to do with the graphics card - it's a Compaq Qvision
card. When OSF/1 starts booting, the textual display is messed up, but
everything is fine when X starts.
I have the sneaking suspicion that this (Qvision on OSF/1) isn't a
supported configuration, because I can't rebuild a kernel for it. It
all *runs* just fine using genvmunix, but when I do a doconfig &
rebuild, I get lots of error messages about 'ace' stuff not being
defined.
We're starting to upgrade to OSF/1 V3.2, and if it's fixed there, I'll
just wait, but if anyone knows how to jimmy the configuration to work,
I'd appreicate it.
