Hello admins,
We just received a new Alpha box, an ES40, equipped with a DE-600-AA
network interface card. This card is not directly supported by Tru64
Unix v4.0f, so I have to install the "New Hardware Delivery" CD (NHD for
short) which will enable the NIC. I downloaded nhd3.tar.gz from
http://ftp1.support.compaq.com/public/unix/v4.0f/, followed the
instructions to burn a CD and also a good old RZ26 disk with the same
ISO image.
Booting from either the CD or this RZ26 is OK. Then follows a procedure
to grasp new modules, which poses no problem. My problem is that shortly
after reading the GENERIC kernel modules and NHD-provided modules (206
of them in my installation), the bootlinking phase fails with a message
like:
error: undefined:
kio_read
6 undefined symbols, aborting load
and the system returns to the SRM prompt.
I have tried to install NHD3 first on an unpatched installation of
TU4.0F, and then an installation patched with PK4. The result is the
same in both, expect for the number of undefined symbols, which is down
to 5 when PK4 is installed.
Has anyone seen such problems with NHD3? Any suggestions/hints/comments
appreciated. TIA
