New cluster won't boot (ES40 / HSG60 / fibre channel)

Tru64 Managers,

We have two brand-new ES40 systems, memory channel interconnect, with HSG60
controllers to disks, running Tru64 5.1.

We've installed TruCluster 5.1, and successfully went through clu_create
with no errors.

However, on the first reboot of the single-node cluster we have problems:

Problem 1:
The system can't find 'vmunix' and 'sysconfigtab.34' and prompts for another
kernel to use

Problem 2:
When specifying 'genvmunix' for the alternate kernel, the cluster is built
(one member), then the quorum disk is mounted, but then we get this error
message:
        "cfs_mountroot_local failed to boot the cluster root fs with error =
22"

There is a subsequent message from CAM saying that the SCSI Bus has been
reset.



For what it's worth, here is our this disk arrangement:
- Tru64 5.1 was installed "fresh" to the ES40 internal dsk1.
- Using the HSG partitioning, one 36 GB drive in the MA6000 array was carved
up into 4 disks for Tru64/TruCluster to use:
        dsk3 - cluster root
        dsk4 - member 1 root
        dsk5 - member 2 root
        dsk6 - quorum


Thanks for any insights you can provide. I also have logged a call with
Compaq TruCluster support.
