I have an old Alphaserver 2100A (lynx) 5/375 with the following config 1x 375 Mhz CPU 2x 512 MB boards Mylex Dac960 PCI RAID controller with 16 MB (DecRaid 230) Matrox Millenium (for NT) of Compaq Qvision (for DU) EISA DSSI controller (unused) i would like to install FreeBSD on it as i am not willing to go back to DU 4.0E (of which i own a licence) nor to (ouch! NT) , both of whitch run flawlessly however. Out of some research on this subject i found out that a) 4.4 release floppies result in a Machine Check, as reported by others. Andrew Gallatin's kernel (thanks for the efforts!) from 22/October/2001 boots OK but seems not to have support for the Mylex. I could assemble an old Alphastation 4/166 just to compile a suitable kernel, but what sources do i need to build it (-current? -stable?) .... any config advise. Or, if any member has the spare time to do it, could someone assemble a kernel for me? Thanks for the efforts BTW i would like to purchase an aditional CPU for the machine if anyone knows of one for sale, please forward the info. (i can arrange shipping from the US) Regards Roberto de Iriarte Santiago, Chile To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
