Hi

I have a problem with an alphaserver 4100 that needs DU4.0D installed on
it. When I try and boot off the installation CD panics when it tries to
configure the console (just after it displays the network card details),
with the following error messages:
...
configure_console: No serial driver installed
No kernel console driver installed
panic (cpu 0): system does not have a consoel configured
syncing disks
...

I have a vt220 attached to the comms port and have the console env var set
to serial (not that it matters, I think). If its of any consequence its
running firmware v5.1-3. Ideas anyone?

There was a similar problem in the archives but unfortunately I could find
no summary, DOH!.

Cheers,

Jason.
