4909.4Another ace* woesCOL01::VSEMUSCHINDuck and Recover !Fri Apr 25 1997 14:4930
    AlphaServer 1000A 5/333, Customer wanted DUNIX 3.2C got 3.2G.
    
    After downgrade from FIS 4.0B doconfig shows the same undefined ace*
    entries as stated in previous notes or in sable notes confrence (as
    quoted in .3).
    
    FW Downgrade to 4.5 (from FW CD Supplied with 3.2G) didn't help. The
    same ace* errors plus lmf cannot identify hardware (indeed already
    >>> show config say that it is 1000A 5/***)
    
    ECU 1.8 didn't know it too. From ECU 1.10 I tried both WNT and OSF/VMS
    versions. No difference among them - the same ace* errors. OK there
    was one difference, After WNT ECU I could got | on german PCXAL
    keyboard.
    
    The solution was to copy ace definition from GENERIC option file
    (as is with 'controller * slot ?'). The doconfig build kernel without
    problem.
    
    What is ace ?
    Will such kernel (with 'controller * slot ?' ) be stable ?
    Is this configuration 3.2G / AS1000A 5/333 / SRM 4.7 supported ?

    PS 
    I tried to find comprehensive table of FW/HW/OS versions compatibilites
    but failed. Any pointers ?
    
    TIA Seva
