Dear People:
I tried to boot the disks that had the operating system that initially
were on an AlphaServer 2100 5/250 in a new system Alpha Sever 1000A
5/400.
And when I tried to boot the generic vmunix, it gave me the message:

Warning: Proc-Type 7/sys-type 1b unknown
Processor type is not configured or not supported. If you are installing
a new version of the operating system please refer to the installation
guide or Hardware Upgrade rel. If you are booting a new kernel, check
the ´cpu´ keyword in the kernel configuration file. Refer to the system
Administration.
Halting CPU0
Halt code=5
HALT instruction executed
PC=fffffC0000407d70

It looks like the processor 5/400 is not recognized by the DU3.2C that
are on the disks.
¿How can I know what is the hardware (especifically cpu, firmware) that
the Operating System DU for each version needs?
¿What should I do now to migrate to this new machine, because I need to
work on a faster cpu?
I am planning to upgrade the version 3.2C to 3.2G and then changing
disks to new machine and booting the generic vmunix.

Thanks in advance,
