xp1000-667 does not boot
Hi,
We have just received a new XP1000 in our department. 667 MHz, 1GB
RAM. The problem is: it does not want to boot. I first tried with the
2.2_rev3 NONUS iso image. No result, it hung up after:
aboot: starting kernel boot/linux with arguments root=/dev/ram
The floppies didn't help also. I tried then with BOOTP (tftpimage from
website). Kernel and initrd images were loaded successfully, but it
stopped with the message:
halt code = 2
kernel stack not valid halt
PC = .....
I tried then to compile a bootpfile myself (kernel 2.2.19) on a 500 MHz
XP1000. It didn't work, hung up at the "aboot: ..." message. The 500 Mhz
XP1000 booted this (bootp) image without any problem.
I have even tried with an old Tru64 CD. It installed like a charm.
Can anybody help ??
Regards,
Ionut
PS SUSE 7.0 & RedHat 7.1 floppies did also not work.
PPS Are there no woody boot-disks for alpha ? The tftpimage.img I used
is from 03-12-2000 . I think a lot has changed (read improved) meanwhile.
