RedHat 7.2 for Alpha released

[Joseph Lukasiewicz]

 Todd,
Thanks I may need the help to spot what I'm missing...  Yesterday I put the "new - borrowed" SCSI drive on the controller with the CD and Tape drive and the Compaq "Jumpstart" CD saw the drive and said it had created 3 partitions on it.(I took the default install). Cool!!! This is the farthest I have gotten with this box and Linux...unfortunately the next step is to boot off the RH distribution:     boot DKA600 -fl 0
which seems to progress along nicely until it starts to "cycle" on a restart of the controller - I will bring the actual text of the message to the meeting tomorrow - What Time does the meeting start?

Bob, 
I would be excited if I thought it was a solution --- The wierd thing is the piece of hardware that is giving me the fits is at least 7 years old.  I'm sure there is support for it, (dead sea scroll on the net show support as far back as v 5.x) it's just that it may no longer be a part of the shipping kernel!  I picked up a 7.1 RH distribution from Compaq for the Alpha but it comes up short (does not "see the controller").  I'm sure there is a way, today I picked up a secondary SCSI hard drive to play with tonight, to plug into the on board SCSI controller...I'll keep you posted.

Alphas and are having problems with them, maybe this release will work.

Cheers!
