Thanks for all the tip on my problem... and a great thanks to Nancy Davis
who came up with the final solution

I needed to run ECU (EISA Configuration Utility) and then the problem was
solved

regards

re: DU4.0E install problem

I had this same experience recently on an Alpha 2100 axp.

Turns out our machine had an EISA bus and I needed to
configure that with the "ECU" before I could boot from cdrom.

ECU = EISA Configuration Utility,
on diskette which I fortunately found lying around here,
as I didn't find it available for download from Compaq

Check the output of:

>>> show config

If you have an EISA bus, then most likely this is what
you will need to do.

I´m trying to install DU4.0E on a Alpha 2000 4/233 with 128 Mb ram.

When I boot the OS-cd with "boot dka600" it´s suddenly stops (before I get
into the installation program) and this shows:

***************

Created FRU table binary error log packet

trap : invalid memory read access from kernel made

     faulting virtual adress: 0x0000000000000090
     pc of faulting instruction: 0xfffffc000044da90
     ra contents at time of fault: 0xfffffc000066a218
     sp contents at time of fault: 0xffffffff87c87720

panic : (cpu 0) kernel memory fault

dump : No primary swap, no explicit dumpdev, Nowhere to hide header,
giving up

halted CPU 0

halt code = 5

Halt instruction executed

PC = fffffc0000434bf0


*****************

during the boot process the memory passes fine

not enought memory?

I have a almost identical alpha standing beside and I get the same "error
log" when I try to boot the cd on that one

any tip?
