(9829) Resolving OpenVMS Boot Failure?

Post by User » Wed Sep 08, 2004 9:26 am

I am trying to install Alpha VMS 6.2-1H3 onto an AlphaServer DS10.
I'm using CD part number AG-QSC4C-RE dated May 1996.
My disk drive is located at Dqa0 and CDROM drive is located at Dqa1.

When I use either Dqa1 or Dqa1.1.0.13.0, I get the same results.

>>>
(boot dqa1.1.0.13.0 -file dqa1.1.0.13.0 -flags 0,0)
block 0 of dqa1.0.13.0 is a valid boot block
reading 1004 blocks from dqa1.1.0.13.0
bootstrap code read in
base=200000, image_start=0, image_bytes=7d800
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 7f8a000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary cpu
jumping to bootstrap code

halt code=5
halt instruction executed
PC=20010148
boot failure
&gt

What do I need to do to get VMS 6.2 installed?

Thanks
Have a great Labor Day

The OpenVMS FAQ has a pointer to the required minimum version of
OpenVMS for various platforms (in "What version of OpenVMS do I
need?"), and you will find that the AlphaServer DS10 series will
require at least OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 (plus ECO kits) and potentially
a later release depending on the specific hardware configuration.
