Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.23-2002-05-21 architecture: alpha model: Alphaserver 2100 5/250 memory: 128M scsi: Q cd-rom: SCSI network card: DEC based pcmcia: none
I have tried using the rescue floppy from this version, and the testing cdrom install (downloaded on 5/22/02) to try to install Debian on this computer. It has 4 CPUs and a 4G hard drive that is recognised by SRM. I have tried booting the system from both media without success. When booting from the floppy (using "boot dva0 -fl 0") I get several messages that look fine then: aboot: loading compressed linux.gz... aboot: segment 0, 2898128 bytes at 0xfffffc0000310000 aboot: zero-filling 2898128 bytes at 0xfffffc00005d38d0 aboot: starting kernel linux.gz with arguements ro root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 halted CPU 0 halt code = 6 double error halt PC = 200000000 I am then dropped back to my SRM prompt. Note: the screen flickers black (then possibly red, but that may just be my imagination) between the last aboot line and the halted CPU 0 line. The rescue.bin that I downloaded was from ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-alpha/3.0.23-2002-05-21/images-1.44/ I also tried the rescue.bin from ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-alpha/3.0.23-2002-05-21/jensen/images-1.44/ even though I didn't expect for it to work (it had the same result and output as the other disk). I have searched through google and I have still been unable to find anything. Is there a solution or will debian not work on this system?
