We just upgraded our Alpha 2100 to 2100A. We were previously at DU
3.2D-1. Unfortunately we did not plan in advance to upgrade the
operating system, so the hardware and firmware was applied first.
After discovering that the minimum DU required was 3.2D-2, an
update install was no longer possible so we had to perform a new, full
installation of 3.2F. However, when booting the system in multiuser mode, the
motif windowing session does not come up. The system stays in console
mode. Invoking the vi editor scrolls infinitely until pressing
CTRL-C. Piping into 'more' does not work, everything scrolls to the
bottom. And, under ksh, setting 'set -o emacs' causes a core dump
and logs me out to the login prompt. We have tried installing the
3.2F version several times but get the same result each time.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
