Hello,
This is a kinda-followup to my previous question, but since I was a bit
vague on that one, I'm starting anew.
I have an Alphaserver2000 (4/233). It has DEC UNIX 3.2d on it now, but we
would like to upgrade to Tru64 (4.0f).
So I halted the machine and tried to boot off the CD using "boot dka600".
It starts the boot process, but right after detecting the network, it dies
with:
trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode
faulting virtual address: 0x0000000000000090
pc of faulting instruction: 0xffffffff0022e1d0
ra contents at time of fault: 0xffffffff0046d1d8
sp contents at time of fault: 0xffffffff83917710
panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault
DUMP: No primary swap, no explicit dumpdev
Nowhere to put header, giving up
halted CPU 0
I have upgraded to the latest firmware. I have run the memory test
from the SRM. OS_TYPE is UNIX, and I've tried VMS. I have previously had
NT, DEC UNIX 3.2 and Linux up on this machine, and have run
memory-intensive tasks - the machine only has 64MB.
I had the same problem when trying to install DEC UNIX 4.0c. As far as I
know, this machine might not be compatible with any remotly recent version
of DEC UNIX/Tru64, but I have no idea how to check this - I found no info
about that on DEC's website.
Anyone have any suggestions?
