Hello Managers,

    This Alpha DS20 was running with Tru64 Unix version 4.0 and I wanted to
update
it to Tru 64 Unix version 5.1 . I shut down the server and installed the
latest firmware from
alpha firmware update website using two floppy disks.The firmware update
was fine with
passed results. But, now when I try to boot the server through Tru64 Unix
version 5.1 CD , it
does not boot and gives the following informations :-
*****************************************************************
block 0 of dka500.5.0.2000.1 is a valid boot block.
reading 14 blocks from dka500.5.0.2000.1
bootstrap code read in
base=200000, image_start=0, image_bytes=1C00
initializing HWRPB at 2000.
initializing page table at 3ff54000
initializing machine state.
setting affinity to primary cpu.
jumping to bootstrap code .
***************************
It remains here forever . I tried the same CD in another alpha server and
that boots fine .
Porblem is that now I cann't even boot from my default boot drive and the
system stays
in SRM console mode.

I searched through the archives and couldn't find any exact solution to the
problem.

TIA ,

Brajesh
