I have an AlphaStation 250 4/266 running Digital UNIX V4.0C which has been
running successfully for a long time. Now, when it boots, it would be
appriciated. Thanks.

o On boot-up, the initial hardware testing, and loading of the UNIX bootstarp
  appears okay. Then the two (2) following messages appear:

        DDR: Invalid Database Header
        DDR: Unable to access Device Information Table for Globals

o A little later in the boot-up, the following messages appear for each SCSI
  device.

        DDR: Invalid Database Header
        Error accessing DDR database - "default" used for SCSI device
        Vendor ID: DEC Product ID: RZ26L

o When I halt UNIX and enter the SRM console, I ran the ISA Configuration
  Utility. Although the information appears correct, the display is corrupted
  with junk characters and some of the help messages are obliterated.

o Also while in the SRM console, if I do a SHOW MAP, all addresses (which are
  automatically generated) are marked as "out of range".

Any thoughts would be of help. Thanks in advace.
