I can't recreate using 5.2.1R or 5.3R disc 1 ISOs. This is now reportedly happening to three different people with three different models. Is there a boot-only ISO with full debugging/verbosity available? Details: This is happening to me as well, completely vanilla install attempt from the 5.4-RC3 disc 1 ISO on an Ultra30. It comes to a grinding halt here: ... nothing to autoload yet jumping to kernel entry at 0xc0040000. I have 5.2.1R and 5.3R CDs that I tested boots from during the troubleshooting process. Each one booted six times without incident. It was immediately after a successful install of 5.3R that I successfully booted from the 5.4RC3 CD and installed. It happened to me six different times, three times trying to install with an attached monitor and keyboard, and three times attached to serial A. For reasons that are completley unknown to me, I eventually got past this problem while on the console and performed a pretty vanilla install ... but the system now stops at this same point in the boot process. For what it's worth, it's usually immediately after the "jumping to kernel" line that I have seen what I seem to recall to be a " stray vector interrupt" error appear under 5.2.1 and 5.3. I haven't yet tracked down what causes these. >From looking back at the list, this problem is happening to at least three different people with three different system models. Is there a boot-only ISO with all of the debugging/verbose stuff enabled? I'd be more comfortable using one from one of the developers/porters than trying to cook up my own. If I can get my hands on one before late Friday night, I can get some test results to the list. -royce -- Royce D.
