Dear Managers,
I installed [*] Tru64 v5.0 (the non-commercial kit) on an
AlphaPC 164SX. It appears it has serious problems when trying to
mount a cdrom with a ufs filesystem on it. Except on rare
occasions when it does mount, I get:
# mount -r /dev/disk/cdrom0c /mnt
/dev/disk/cdrom0c on /mnt: No valid filesystem exists on this partition
# file /dev/rdisk/cdrom0c
/dev/rdisk/cdrom0c : character special (19/54) SCSI #0 CD-ROM
XM- disk #2 (SCSI ID #4) (SCSI LUN #0)
Everything is fine when mounting ISO9660 cdroms. The SRM console
reports the CD-ROM as
dka400.4.0.7.0 DKA400 TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-5701TA 0167
(the scsi controller is an NCR 810). The funny thing is, the very
same cd Tru64 v5.0 is not able to mount, can be mounted by Linux
as ufs filesystems. Also, v4.0F seems to be less picky.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ettore
[*] One cd displaying this behavior is in particular the installation
one. Booting from it fails, presumably because this problem prevents
vmunix from mounting /. Booting from a 4.0F CD and making an
update installation worked.
