Dear Managers
I am trying to install both 4.0e and 4.0f onto a new ES40 that we have. It
will be dual boot and used for cluster testing.
The problem is that I cannot even boot off the install CDs that I have in
order to set it up.
I boot from the CD (either 4.0e of 4.0f) and they both fail with the
following panic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
boot_device: unknown protocol name IDE
setconf: Bootdevice parser failed to translate bootdevice IDE 0 15 0 0 0 0 0
panic (cpu 0) : setconf : bootdevice_parser failed.
Dump: No primary swap, no explicit dumpdev
Nowhere to put header, giving up.
halted CPU0
halt code =5
HALT instruction executed
PC=fffffc0000434bf0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone seen this error with reference to bootdevice_parser before? If so
how did you get around it?
Thank you in advance,
