Hi All, I decided to replace a disk on the ol' 2100A. I had been running VMS on it without any troubles, until a disk started giving me errors. After replacing the disk, I decided to give 5.2 a go, thinking maybe some of the problems of last year may have been resolved. No such luck. As you can see below, it's doing the machine check at almost the same point as last year. In combing the archives, it seems that there were problems with some cards, so I yanked out all the pci cards (there were no EISA cards), still a machine check. This machine booted and ran stable under 4-xx with a uniprocessor kernel It seems you may have to disable the machine checks in order to get this beast to boot, any pointers on where to start? I'd like to play with it with FBSD before going back to VMS. Below is the console firmware pre-boot diag and then the actual boot -v output and then the show config and show fru. Cheers Tom #################################################### VMS PALcode V5.56-7, OSF PALcode V1.45-12 starting console on CPU 0 initialized idle PCB initializing semaphores initializing heap initial heap 1c0c0 memory low limit = 13c000 heap = 1c0c0, 13fc0 initializing driver structures initializing idle process PID XDELTA not enabled initializing file system initializing timer data structures lowering IPL CPU 0 speed is 3.64 ns (275MHz) create dead_eater create poll create timer create powerup access NVRAM entering idle loop Starting Memory Diagnostics Testing CSIC on Memory Module 0 Testing CSIC on Memory Module 3 Testing 1st 8MB(s) on memory module 0 Testing all memory banks in parallel Testing Memory bank 0 Testing Memory bank 1 Testing Memory bank 2 Testing Memory bank 3 Configuring Memory Modules Configured memory size = 28000000 Memory Diagnostics completed probing hose 0, PCI probing PCI-to-EISA bridge, bus 1 probing PCI-to-PCI bridge, bus 2 bus 2, slot 1 -- pka -- NCR 53C810 starting console on CPU 1 initialized idle PCB initializing idle process PID lowering IPL CPU 1 speed is 3.64 ns (275MHz) create powerup antering idle loopst rting console on CPU 2 initialized idle PCB initializing idle process PID lowering IPL starting console on CPU 3 initialized idle PCB initializing idle process PID lowering IPL CPU 2 speed is 3.64 ns (275MHz) create powerup CPU 3 speed is 3.64 ns (275MHz) create powerup os_type: UNIX - console CIPCA driver not started Memory Testing and Configuration Status Module Size Base Addr Intlv Mode Intlv Unit Status ------ ----- --------- ---------- ---------- ------ 0 128MB 20000000 1-Way 0 Passed 3 512MB 00000000 1-Way 0 Passed Total Bad Pages 0 Testing the System Testing the Disks (read only) AlphaServer 2100A Console V5.3-10, built on Oct 16 1998 at 14:06:58 ################################################################ P00>>>boot dka500 (boot dka500.5.0.2001.0) block 0 of dka500.5.0.2001.0 is a valid boot block reading 393 blocks from dka500.5.0.2001.0 bootstrap code read in base = 200000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 31200 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at 27ff0000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code Console: SRM firmware console VMS PAL rev: 0x4000700010538 OSF PAL rev: 0x4000c0002012d Switch to OSF PAL code succeeded.
