Re: Trouble booting 9.2 on Alpha Jensen



Hi Jason,

Just checked mine which was successfully booted with some previous snapshot but now fails at the same place as Nigel's.

Here is a boot log of the last known snapshot:

https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi?do=view&id=6187

Now the recent kernel finds something at eisa1 so there could be some changes between 9.99.87 and the recent one in handling eisa?

Thanks in advance,

Is there anything i can do using ECU to solve the problem?  I don't really care if it makes it incompatible with VMS, since I am only keeping that to have something that I know boots!
If you can configure the SCSI controller to have a LEVEL-trigger IRQ, then that will work around the bug in the “ahb” driver that is causing the interrupt storm that hangs the machine.
