Hello,
I have an upgraded Alpha 1000A EV-5/400 (from an Alpha 1000), which means
you get a new cabinet with motherboard, CPU board, and graphics card. In
this box you have to build over the tape drive, the CD-ROM drive, the
network card, memory and the disks (as SBB's). Additional, I bought 256 MB
(4x 64MB SIMMs) more memory. The machine has now one bank with the new 64
MB SIMMs and three banks with the old 16 MB SIMMs, total 448 MB.
I wanted to newly install DU 3.2g on a RZ29B system disk. The installation
goes fine, until it starts building the first kernel. It fails with an
undefined error, apparently somewhere in a script, showing the filenames
starting with ace*.
>From there I have tried the following to solve the problem, with out any
luck and always the same error.
- Install latest firmware from 5.1 CD
- Downgrade firmware to 3.9 CD as some of our other machine run stable on
- Switch position of PCI cards (has helped us in other occasions, with some
rackmounted 1000A's and DU 4.0B and D problems)
- Check termination and disconnected the older TLZ07 and CD-ROM
- Used different system disks (wide and narrow)
- Removed the old 16 MB SIMMs
- Different installation CD-ROMs
- Use all kernel features in the build (selection 13) and no kernel
features (selection 14)
I do not know if a kernel build actual goes out and checks on some
hardware, or that it just runs a kind of make script.
Is there anybody that can give me some input to solve my problem.
Thanks,
