I installed DU 4.0b on a second disk on our Alphastation 255.
The first disk has the original factory installed 4.0a.
After shuttind down 4.0b, it gets into a "waiting for ew to start"
sequence that goes on indefinitely. DU 4.0a shuts down fine.
Here are the details.
Shutting down from (not sure of case of characters...):
4.0a 4.0b
CP Save_term routine to be called
CP Save_term exited with hlt_reg = 1, r0 = 0000000.0000000 [or some # zeros]
Halted CPU 0
Halt code = 5
Halt instruction executed
---- up to here it is the same ---- then:
PC = FFFFFC00004E7C90 PC = FFFFFC00004FF290
>>> waiting for ew to start
waiting for ew to start
waiting for ew to start
waiting for ew to start
This "waiting" goes on indefinitely. I have to reset or powercycle
to get it back to the >>> prompt.
I didn't find anything in the release notes about this. What
is different between the two systems and how can this be made to
not happen. I included the data above on the chance it might be relevant.
