9082.0. "V3.2F/as4000 Trap:invalid memory read" by CHEFS::ACBREO::carterr () Mon Mar 10 1997 07:43

Hi,

I'm trying to boot an AlphaServer 4000 from a V3.2f CD and I get

trap:invalid memory read access from kernel mode

The firmware is V3.0-10.

Is the firmware wrong? Is the Drive broken? I get the same result when I 
try and boot UNIX V4.

Regards,
Richard Carter. NSIS UK

	With out trying to understand what's really wrong - The supported versions for as4000 and as4100 are 3.2G and 4.0A and above. Not sure what firmware numbers but get the latest (if 466Mhz then you need to read the blitz re: Alpha Server 4100 - V4.8-6 Console, 466 MHZ Cpu's Cheers Mark :) [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

9082.3	>>set memory_test full	CHEFS::CARTERR	Bemused of Basingstoke	`Tue Mar 11 1997 04:07`	12
	Thanks for the answer. Another thing to try ( as per alphaserver4100 notesfile mvblab::alphaserver_4100) is: >>>set memory_test full Now I think about it I did see a message "only first 32mb memory tested"... :-) Regards, Richard.
