Installing Sarge on Alpha
Hello,
I tried to install Sarge on an Alpha (Personal Workstation 500a), but the
installation process failed.
Details:
The installation process hangs on:
Loading module 'qlogicisp' for 'Q Logic ISP1020 Fast-wide SCSI' ...
This is the 3'th (or 4'th) step (after selecting the language, country and
keyboard layout)
I first tried to boot from ISO-images made by jigdo-0.7.1
jigdo='http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/cd/jigdo-area/alpha/sarge-alpha-*.jigdo'
debianMirror='http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/'
I assume this uses the new Debian-Installer (beta 4)?
Next, I used the 'current' "CD image, with Debian base" from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/alpha/current
(Date: 19-Jul-2004 22:21)
Both methods failed at the exact same spot.
Result: the system hangs.
Note: the system has a 'ISP1040 Scsi Controller'
(== PCI card with QLogic 1040B Wide Ultra SCSI Adapter)
Remark:
RedHat 7.2 for Alpha installs without problems, i.e. the system is fully
operational.
