dear osf'ers,
this is my second try to post this question. may by the first hangs somewhere.
if not (i got no answer) please be patient :-(
dear osf-managers,
i have a (very) strange problem with an DEC3000/300 box wich i had to
give a new system because of compatibility with other alphas.
the original OS was OSF/1 V1.3A and the machine run fine with no basic errors.
i installed (full) the OSF/1 V3.2 - the highest version i could get :-(
and made the recommended firmwareupdate (V6.0).
all went fine until the the final reboot. on starting xdm the following
fatal error occure (even after several reboots).

panic (cpu 0): machine check hardware error
booting to singleuser mode is possible. starting (by hand)
of inet, printer, ... works until the final xdm start.
the same crash occure.
today i tried a complete new installation only with the mandantory subsets.
the machine came up to multiuser mode. i logged in and rebooted the box
and get the same strange error.
I have no idea what happend. and i can't believe to a hardware - error
just at the time wen i install a new OS!
Is it a problem with the graphics drivers (Xserver.conf) but if so, why
the first boot to multiuser went well? the graphics card is an PMAGB-BA.
can someone give me a hint or had the same problem or know a solution?
in the archive i found something about a 400's firmware upgrade trap.
maybe that's also a problem with 300's??? what's to do .........
Thanks In Advance
G.G.
