3643.1	Make sure he really has V7.2 (I doubt it)...	AMCUCS::SWIERKOWSKI	Quot homines tot sententiae	`Tue May 20 1997 19:16`	23
	Greetings! You might want to double-check that version number. OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 (a.k.a. "Gryphon") is the current release and an "LHR" (i.e "Limited Hardware Release") against it (i.e. V7.1-1H1 a.k.a. "Hailstorm") is due out for delivery next quarter, but hasn't shipped yet and in fact the EFT kit doesn't even go to the SSB until 6/12/97. The next major "point" release (presumbly numbered V7.2 a.k.a. "Raven") isn't due out until next year and to my knowledge isn't due to even start IFT until 7/10/97. If this customer really has some sort of pre-IFT release for "Raven", (not very likely - I only know of two customer sites with a "Raven" FT0 kit), he should be working directly with OpenVMS Engineering. If you want the latest release newsletter, send me mail, cheers... Tony Swierkowski Digital Equipment Corporation Software Partner Engineering Palo Alto, California (415) 617-3601 "[email protected]"
3643.2	Stepped him through some things	HYDRA::BRYANT		`Fri May 23 1997 10:00`	6
	Had him set OS_TYPE to VMS, bus_probe_algorithm to old and boot_osflags to 0. This got him past the EXECINIT error but now he's some kind of infinite loop. I told him to set bus_probe_algorithm to new and reboot and call back if he has any more problems. Since he hasn't, I'm closing this one.
