This is my first post to the list. Sorry if the subject has been in discution here, but i can't find something to point me in the right way... We have in our office an Digital Alpha Server 2100A just standing in the corner, and i would like to make it usefull... I've been engaged in a battle :-) for almost 3 weeks, trying to install some kind of Unix in the machine, but without any success. From Linux (several distros and versions) to NetBSD and FreeBSD (4.2 and 5.0 development) i've tried everything and nothing... FreeBSD was the one who actually started the kernel, but it hangs afterwards... I've read in the archives that the 2100A is a bit different from 2100 and for what i've looked in the CVS, there's some code to make FreeBSD boot in the 2100A, right ? So i need someone to shed some light on me about installing FreeBSD on this machine, is it possible ? If needed i can post all the configuration of the machine...

Make sure you are using the very latest release (4.3). 2100A support was not added until a few months ago, and nothing earlier than 4.3 will work on a 2100A. There's no support for EISA devices, and to get multi-processor support (which was added only last week & is still quite rough), you need to run -current.

The following story is about the SRM console. You shouldn't just copy the file if you have SRM console! On the Digital's site there is an utility like rawrite (slightly modified) You can use this utility to write the SRM image to floppy DOS,Win...xxx You can also use dd on any Unix box to prepare this floppy . Just take a look in Linux Archives there is information about how to make the CORRECT boot floppy for booting the SRM console. And finally on AlphaStation I think you should enable the jumper to allow boot from floppy and another jumper to allow to flush the chips (the second one is allowed by factory defaults). -- Vahe --- -----Original Message----- From: Riccardo.Veraldi@fi.infn.it To: freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Monday, April 23, 2001 3:15 PM Subject: firmware upgrade. > >I copied the proper file from the COMPAQ www site to upgrade the firmware >to my AlphaStation 255. >I copied it over a blank formatted diskette but when I Try to boot from it, >it says me no valid boot block is found... >how can upgrade the firmware via diskette ?? >thanks > >Rick > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Mon Apr 23 9:33:48 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from peter3.wemm.org (c1315225-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [65.0.135.147]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F3C737B424; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 09:33:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from peter@wemm.org) Received: from overcee.netplex.com.au (overcee.wemm.org [10.0.0.3]) by peter3.wemm.org (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id f3NGXhM54063; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 09:33:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from peter@wemm.org) Received: from wemm.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by overcee.netplex.com.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8E38638FC; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 09:33:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from peter@wemm.org) X-Mailer: exmh version 2.3.1 01/18/2001 with nmh-1.0.4 To: Andrew Gallatin Cc: John Baldwin , alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: SMP is stable now.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello folks! here is the chapter 2 of my misterious problem. 2 weeks ago I encountered this problem with My AlphaStation 255, FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE: a massive use of programs like cp or tar (I/O bound) made the kernel crash with a machine check error. I Opened the AS deinstalled and reinstalled the SIMM modules, updated the SRM console cleanded all the inside parts carefully with compressed air etc... I do not know which of these operations was the correct one but after that I never had a problem with cp or tar, but I have been keeping trying some example which would make my AS crash again. I finally found a repetible experiment and operation which makes my AlphaStation crash every time. I am VERY INTERESTED to know your opinion to see if I can solve this problem. I created a 145600000 Bytes file called 'pp'. Then I kept using dd with different bs every time. I found the best disk performance for the disk is at bs=10485760 which gives me a I/O speed of 4.8MB/s. Now we are at the clue point... Anyway this following command makes my AlphaStation 255 crash every time I issue the command after a while (Seems when it reaches the end of the process because several seconds passes): dd bs=145600000 if=pp of=pp2 This command makes a machine check exception and I am back to the SRM console system crashes... this happens when the bs parameter is the same as the file size (in this case 145600000 Bytes). How come this happens ??? What could be the reason ?? How to fix it ?? Could it be a power supply problem really ? MY power supply is about 100Watts and the internal disk is a IBM DNES 18GB. A disk peak could suck enough watts so that the SIMM or CPU do not have enough watts for theirself making everyting crah ? My guess is the DISK is tooooo much low watts to give such a problem... Do you suggest me to use a smaller disk ??? I Am complitely OUT OF ANY IDEAS And really depressed at this point!! I Wanted to use my Alphastation as a Big Brother server but seems like I won't be able to! :( I am SUPER INTERESTED to know your valuable and precious opinions. Thanks Thousands in advance.

I've never booted the machine trough the serial port. I just tried with my AS200. I've set the console to serial in SRM then reboot. I tried to connect with serial cable and some terminal prog with serial support and got messup on terminal . It seems that AS box itself really outputs to console cause it outputs less information on Graphics card than earlier ( I am still able to use keyboard and see output on graphics card) But on serial console I get some messup. What is wrong? BTW I've checked cable on NT box with two serial ports and that same terminal prog writing on one terminal echoes it to other one and vice-versa.

I steel have other ttyvs. This makes no sense to me -- you say you want to use a serial console, yet you seem to have a "graphics console" equipment connected.

Yes. The same idea I had when you complained about machine checks before -- you've got flaky hardware. When you use such a large blocksize, you're causing dd to grow _VERY_ large (roughly 140MB). This stresses the memory system, as well as the I/O system. If you have less that 150MB or so of ram, you're going to start paging heavily as well. This is the sort of scenario where if you've got hardware problems with a machine, you're going to see them. Also bear in mind that the apecs was the first workstation class alpha pci chipset that DEC ever did, and may not be as solid as their later producsts. It certainly doesn't perform as well (see ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/SRC/publications/shand/fccm97.pdf) We had a few AS400s (basically the same thing as your AS255) that would crash every few months with a machine check error when running Tru64. So, in conclusion, either don't push it so hard, or replace the failing hardware.

I've been trying to install FreeBSD 4.3 in a Alpha Server 2100A without success. After all the steps of sysinstall, i get this error when booting the machine for the first time : Halted CPU 0 halt code = 2 Kernel stack not valid halt PC = 0 boot failure Any clue to what may be causing this ?

Misconfigured partitions, yes.

If you're unsure how to lay things out, you might want to let sysinstall do it for you from the parition menu. That said, I don't think there are any problems with putting all of FreeBSD in a single 11.7GB partition, as long as its first on the disk.
