Has anyone been sucessful in getting a diskless 2000 running Ultrix 4.1? I get as far as building a kernel, but it dies after loading its own kernel and before it checks devices. It configures as a MicroVAX (MVAX), which is what I think it should do. Any ideas? ============================================================================ Brian O'Neill - Local Internet Access Account Internet: oneill@bu-pub.bu.edu UUCP : ...!bu.edu!bu-pub!oneill -- ============================================================================ Brian O'Neill - Local Internet Access Account Internet: oneill@bu-pub.bu.edu UUCP : ...!bu.edu!bu-pub!oneill

It boots the generic kernel fine, so it doesn't seem to be a memory constraint problem, but then again genvmunix may be too stupid to quit. When the built kernel is loaded, it starts off normally, gives the processor type (KA410 I believe), then panics. It doesn't manage to search for devices. -- ============================================================================ Brian O'Neill - Local Internet Access Account Internet: oneill@bu-pub.bu.edu UUCP : ...!bu.edu!bu-pub!oneill

The standalone kernel will work in as little as five. It used to be 3. The generic kernel might work with that, because it doesn't expect to have to support anything interesting like a window manager. > When > the built kernel is loaded, it starts off normally, gives the > processor type (KA410 I believe), then panics.

This contains all the output from the make command that built the kernel. If there's any errors, it might help explain the why there is a problem. > > -- > ============================================================================ > Brian O'Neill - Local Internet Access Account -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.enet.dec.com
