We have an Alpha 2100A 5/250 that has been running NT. We want to install
DU 3.2G instead. Changed os_type to UNIX. SRM console is at 4.6-249, VSM
PALcode v1.18-2, OSF PALcode v1.21-1.
          When we try to boot the CD we get a message about "processor
machine check" and the screen goes blank.
           Since I wrote the above we've tried to backlevel the firmware to
3.6 at Digital's request. Did not work. Also reinstalled 3.7 firmware and
did not work.
           Any advice is welcome. I will summarize. Thanks in advance.
