Bug#240575: installation-reports: Fails to boot on Alpha
Package: installation-reports
Version: beta 3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I tried the beta 3 CD on my alpha, it doesn't boot.
Here is what happens from the SRM console, the command I used was
"boot dqb"
(boot dqb1.1.1.208.0 -flags 0)
block 0 of dqb1.1.1.208.0 is a valid boot block
reading 171 blocks from dqb1.1.1.208.0
bootstrap code read in
vase = 200000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 15600
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at ffee000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
