Sarge installer on DEC alpha PWS 500a
Hello,
I've downloaded the Sarge installer yesterday, and it ran flawlessly on my
Digital Personal Worstation 500a, up until the point that it asks me to
remove the CD in order to boot from harddisk.
After the reboot, it keeps searching for DKA0 (the CD-drive, which is now
empty). If I interrupt it, and type "boot dkc0", Debian starts loading and
then gives a Kernel Panic on the SCSI-driver for the Qlogic ISP1020.
Anyone got a solution for this?
tnx,
Peter

Comments/Problems:
As stated above, first reboot tries to reboot of CD.
When booting from HD, a Kernel Panic occurs on the Qlogic Driver.
Hardware is OK, since it boot with kernel 2.2 and I had redhat 7.1 alpha
on there for 2 years.
