Hi!

The system: Alphaserver 1000A with the following devices:
.
dka0.0.0.2000.0 DKA0 RZ1CB-BA LYE0
dka400.4.0.2000.0 DKA400 RRD46 0557
dkb100.1.0.11.0 DKB100 HSZ20 V31Z
dva0.0.0.1000.0 DVA0
jkb507.5.0.11.0 JKB507 DEC TMV2
ewa0.0.0.2004.0 EWA0 00-00-F8-04-65-41
ewb0.0.0.12.0 EWB0 00-00-F8-04-64-3C
pka0.7.0.2000.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7 5.54
pkb0.6.0.11.0 PKB0 SCSI Bus ID 6 P01 A11

The systems comes up in single-user-mode without the advfs-partition (/usr).
When I try to mount the partition, I get:

# mount -t advfs usr_domain#usr /usr
ADVFS EXCEPTION
Module = ftx_recovery.c, Line = 180
ftx_bfmeta_rec_redo: got bmt page N1 instead of N2
 N1 = 1221, N2 = 2300
panic (cpu 0): ftx_bfmeta_rec_redo: got bmt page N1 instead of N2
 N1 = 1221, N2 = 2300
syncing disks... done

DUMP: No primary swap, no explicit dumpdev.
          Nowhere to put header, giving up.
CP - SAVE_TERM routine to be called
CP - SAVE_TERM exited with hlt_req = 1, r0 = 00000000.00000000

halted CPU 0

halt code = 5
HALT instruction executed
PC = fffffc0000461300
>>>


Disk crash or just partition crash?
The same message comes up and brings the machine down when I boot it
up to init level 3.

Another question: I have an DU 4.0D bootable CD which does not work with this
server - it can boot up alphastation 255. Do I need a special version???
The CD has a part-number: AG-QTM9E-BE.

Thanks in advance!

Wolf
