Dear Managers,
I'm stumped on this one. We have an Alpha 1200 that won't boot the
Tru64 5.1a installation CD. It gets as far as loading the SCSI drivers,
then halts. If we pull a SCSI card out, it loads the one before it and then
halts. If we pull another SCSI card out, it loads the one before than and
then halts. This leads me to believe that whatever is causing the problem
happens just after the SCSI drivers have loaded.
We tried pulling all of the SCSI cards, which left just the internal
ports with tape drive and CD connected. Since there was a terminator on the
cable, we unplugged the tape drive as well. With just the CD connected, we
got a kernel memory fault trying to boot the CD.
We have replaced the CD drive and tried three different CDs, still
have the same problem. We also tried booting a 4.0f CD, and it was
successful.
I put in a case with HP Support and they told me to run eisaconfig.
Eisaconfig? It's all PCI bus.
The latest thing I have tried was gathering system config info from
this site and from another Alpha 1200 that has 5.1a on it. I really don't
see anything here, but maybe some other keen eye will.
I'm open to any suggestions on this. Thanks to all.
