I am trying to get a AS4100 running and am experiencing some technical
difficulties!
Hardware: Alphaserver 4100 5/400 (2 CPU's), Mylex DAC960
Firmware: SRM console V5.6-4


I try to boot the system from CD (4.0E) and receive the following errors in
the boot-up:


Initializing xcr0. Please wait....

xcr_logger: XCR_ERROR packet
xcr_logger: cntrl 0 unit 0

When I run swxcrmgr.exe the Mylex configuration looks OK (just a bunch of
disks).
What does the "Possible Software Problem" and "Hard Error Detected" messages
mean?
Where can I get help info on the Mylex DAC960?

You help is always appreciated. Let me know if more info is required.
