From: Richard Johnson <raj@UCI-750A.ARPA> We have a Vax 750 and have been running 4.2 since about the beginning of this year. We recently removed an RM05 from Massbus 0 and installed an RUA81 on the Unibus. We also have an Eagle running with an Emulex Massbus controller on Massbus 2. We have a spare Massbus 1 which isn't connected to anything and has never caused us any problems. Right after installing the RUA81 we started having problems with rebooting the system. It will not auto-reboot and most times will hang rebooting after taking the system down with "shutdown". The output we get before it hangs is: 167720+56384+35416 start 0xf30 4.2 BSD UNIX ... realmem = 4452352 availmem = 3508224 using 217 buffers containing 445440 bytes of memory mcr0 at tr0 mba0 at tr4 At this point it stops. We have found that pushing the <reset> button will make it boot correctly as will turning it off and back on again. Question: Has anyone ever heard of this type of thing before? My guess is that either the RUA81 is not allowing everything to reset correctly on shutdown or the lack of a device at mba0 and mba1 is confusing the autoconfiguration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Richard Johnson raj@uci (ARPA) UCI ICS Systems Manager ucbvax!ucivax!raj (UUCP)
