RE: problem with 2100 and 2100A machine checking on v3.2g -> v4.0a upgrade
on the way to v4.0b. Cause: machines have > 1GB RAM
Two workarounds:
1) remove memory boards
2) Solution we used (software limit the memory the kernel sees):
P00>>> set boot_osflags i
P00>>> boot
...
Enter <kernel_name> [option_1 ... option_n]
Hit <cr> to boot default kernel 'vmunix': vmunix memlimit=1024
...
# /sbin/installupdate -i /dev/rz6c
...
and everytime the system boots after that, it asks for a kernel and options
until we re-set boot_osflags to a,1 when we get to v4.0B.
