I've seen this when the internal buffer battery was empty. >And since, I'm stuck in AlphaBios, with no other choice than WindowsNT : >no network boot and so on. > >In the CMOS advanced, I chose "OpenVMS SRM" or "Digital UNIX SRM", but >nothing works ... It's still getting back to AlphaBIOS. [del] Alphas can react strange when the internal clock is bogus. Try setting it in AlphaBIOS (I think there's a menu for it?) and reboot without disconnecting power. Consider yourself lucky when you get it to boot that way, though. Replacing the battery should cure it, IMHO. HTH, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
