Hi,
I have recently upgraded two alpha servers (AS800 5/400 and AS1000A 5/400)
from DU4.0D to T64 5.1A via 4.0F, including updating the firmware from the
v6.0 firmware CD.
The AS800 was no problem, minimum amount of post-upgrade work needed,
applied the first patch, all went well. The AS1000A was a very different
story. Although the install seemed to go ok, there was a problem with CDE
logins and many of the file creation times are wrong, many are Jan 1st
1970. I installed the recent patch, and when it tried to rebuild the
kernel, it failed. I rebooted anyway, and as it came up, the system
started the same basic X session it uses for the 5.n install, then ran at
least some of the post-install 'configure' scripts, then booted ok. Now
CDE works again, but I still can't build a kernel:

Make: Don't know how to make data/steal_mem.c. Stop.

The file /usr/sys/data/steal_mem.c exists and is not empty (though it
doesn't contain much..)
I've tried using the old config file or using doconfig to create a new
one, and I tried removing the old /usr/sys/HOSTNAME directory, none of
these help.
Any ideas?
Simon
