(a)boot problems...
Hi...
Well, I checked the Digital website, and there was a new version
(5.2) of the firmware for my box (AlphaServer 1000A 5/333,
noritake/primo). But... I've upgraded it, and now I'm unable to
boot from the serial console! I get the following...
[...]
CPU 0 booting
(boot dka0.0.0.2000.0 -file 2/vmlinux.gz -flags root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyS0,9600n8)
block 0 of dka0.0.0.2000.0 is a valid boot block
reading 173 blocks from dka0.0.0.2000.0
bootstrap code read in
Building FRU table
FRU table size = 0x92f
base = 1d4000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 15a00
initializing HWRPB at 2000

setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
a
halted CPU 0
halt code = 5
HALT instruction executed
PC = 200005c4
boot failure
>>>
And booting from the console (vga+keyboard) it boots! (but fails to
reboot, like before) I don't undersntand why, but it seems a
SRM/firmware problem. I'll try emailing somebody at DEC and the
linux-axp list; anyway I'd appreciate any ideas...
