Trying to update firmware on previously posted
Machine C: Digital Personal Workstation 433au,
firmware rev 6.6 runningOSF/1 V.4.0D
Went to #shutdown -h now
then
>>>>boot dka0
boot dka0.0.0.4.0 -file vmunix -flags a)
block 0 of dka0.0.4.0 is a valid boot block
reading 1082 blocks from dka0.0.0.4.0 failed to send
read to dka0.0.0.4.0
failed to read dka0.0.0.4.0
bootstrap failure
So, I did it again:
>>>>boot dka0 (Without trying to find out what
happened first!!)
So it started pasting text on the screen, very slowly,
one character after another
MCHECK_ERR - 217 - I/O
Timeout occured
IOA timeout has occured
unextected interrupt through vector 00000066
MAITA Errors CSRs (CPU 0)
PYXIS_ERR FFFFFFFF800008000
STAT 00000000000000DO
ERR_MASK: 0000000000000B93
(These are just randomly picked lines for the text
pasting on the screen, and it hasn't stopped since.
Not sure if to break t off with ^C or not, its been
going for 15 minutes now. One other machine (Alpha
4100 took the firmware upgrade OK)
Ideas?
_Thanking you always!!
