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. *************** * Ionut Georgescu * http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/ * ICQ: 38973105 * "In Windows you can do everything Microsoft wants you to do; in Unix you * can do anything the computer is able to do."
