I get what appears to be probe timeouts on the QLogic ISP1020 scsi adaptor just before the graphic install screen. The install cannot detect any hard drives and cant begin. That's where i'm stuck. I am attempting to boot 5.0 Current using an SRM install ( >>> boot dva0 ). Stable 4.0 gave machine check panics. My attempt at info from notes (i am *brand new* to the Alpha... knew nothing about it the day before i attempted the install): Alpha AS1000A 4/266 64MB RAM QLogic ISP1020, DECchip 21040-AA Slot 0 QLogic ISP1020 Hose 0 Bus 2 PCI pka 0.7.0.2000.0 SCSI Bus ID 7 dva 0 is in here somewhere dka 0.0.0.2000.0 RZ28 (no "B" on this one) dka 100.1.0.2000.0 RZ28B dka 200.2.0.2000.0 RZ28B dka 300.3.0.2000.0 RZ28B dka 600.6.0.2000.0 RRD43 dka 500.5.0.2000.0 TLZ06 Any and all help is appreciated. --- other problematic behavior --- constant ST0=40 read/address mark missing errors from all floppies i tried. All the floppies work fine on other FreeBSD, Linux, WinNT systems so i no longer think the floppies are at fault. It boots the kernel and brings me to the graphic install screen so they get me there.
