Good afternoon everyone, I'm STILL playing around with Multia/UDB machines, and finally decided to try a fresh new install from scratch using 31r0a.
I've converted to SRM and followed the instructions using both CD1 and the NetINST cd. In both cases, the machine simply "stops". I don't want to say "hangs" because caps lock and num lock LEDs continue to work. I start the machine. The machine has an internal ide disk (UNUSED, IGNORE IT). An External Toshiba SCSI cdrom at ID6 An External 4GB Seagate drive at ID0 I issue the "show dev" to make sure that I see the cdrom and at what address "DKA600" And thus issue the command, boot "DKA600 -fl 0" It tells me it sees a valid boot block, starts the process, I see "aboot: no disklabel found. iso: Max size:325008 Log zone size: 2048 iso: First datazone:52 Root inode number 106496 aboot: loading uncompressed boot/vmlinuz... aboot: loading compressed boot/vmlinuz... aboot: zero-filing 407760 bytes at 0xfffffc0000571900 aboot: loading initrd (2938876 bytes/2869 blocks) at 0xfffffc0007b2c000 aboot: starting kernel boot/vmlinuz with arguments ramdisk_size=16384 root=dev/ram devfs=mount,dall" (quotes not actually included) At which point, the machine just hangs. I actually get this on 3 different Multia (yes, really, I own 3, someone want one?) So I'm fairly certain that it's a function of the install as opposed to a hardware or machine specific error. I've tried it with 3 different sets of ram, all tested on a ram tester, and all had at one point, been running OLDER versions of ARC booted operating systems. <grimace> If there is a readme or some doc that I've missed, please point me that way. Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks. Ted
