Dear DU know-it-alls,
I just did my first firmware only upgrade. I upgraded an Alpha 2100 Server 4/200 running
DU 3.0 with Firmware Rev. 3.6 up to firmware 4.7 (CD Rev 3.8). I DID NOT upgrade the
OS yet. I'm doing that next week, after much planning (It's actually gonna be a new install
of 4.0b). Before I get on with my current problem. Just a reminder to those doing a similar
upgrade in the future. If you have RAID drives, you will want to change the
"bus_probe_algorithm" from "new" to "old" and then init. At least it through me for a loop.
Ok, so on to the problem. My console has lost it's mind. It errors out when the Xsession
starts and ends up at the command line logon. It also won't page on the man pages, it
just scrolls along. Does this sound like an easy fix? A simple reconfigure somewhere in the
firmware or kernel? Please let me know how to fix it. I imagine it will straighten out
once I do the 4.0b upgrade?
Thanks,
Wayne Sweatt
