could you describe the hardware you are using ...? the SRM level ...? :)
1) SRM level: 5.8-1 Graphics card: Fire GL 1000 ---- PCI Mother board: Alpha PC 164LX Processor: Digital Alpha 21164, 600 MHz Display: COMPAQ Presario V410 Model 304u HDD: Quantum FireBall LM A35 -----IDE CD-ROM: Asus 50x CD-S500/A 2.0H ------IDE Sound Card: Creative Labs sound Blaster 1.5, Pro 16 ---- ISA 1) When I was using the SRM console command as follows: boot dqa0 -file /kernels/vmlinux.24 -flags "root=/dev/hda initrd=images/ramdisk.img" It gives a message as follows "unable read Local CDROM......" in a certain level 3) while using the command boot dqa0 -file /kernels/vmlinux.j -flags "root=/dev/hda initrd=images/ramdisk.img" Its geting stucked in "uncompressing process" --- no error message
(you mention "boot dqb0 -fl 0" above, did you mean dqa0) ? Does using the kernels/vmlinux.gz work any better? Can you boot from floppy with the CDROM in the drive and do better that way?
I'm giving the full details again.... 1)Installer gets crashed during this GUI installation mode SRM console commamd: boot dqb0 -file /kernels/vmlinux.24 -flags "root=/dev/hda initrd=images/ramdisk.img" gives "Gdk: error" Hardware configuration & SRM level used as follows: SRM level: 5.8-1 Graphics card: Fire GL 1000 ---- PCI Mother board: Alpha PC 164LX Processor: Digital Alpha 21164, 600 MHz Display: COMPAQ Presario V410 Model 304u HDD: Quantum FireBall LM A35 -----IDE CD-ROM: Asus 50x CD-S500/A 2.0H ------IDE Sound Card: Creative Labs sound Blaster 1.5, Pro 16 ---- ISA 1) When I was using the SRM console command as follows: boot dqb0 -file /kernels/vmlinux.24 -flags "root=/dev/hda initrd=images/ramdisk.img" where able give language setting, locale setings after that It gives a message as follows "unable read Local CDROM......" [installer source location] 3) while using the command boot dqb0 -file /kernels/vmlinux.j -flags "root=/dev/hda initrd=images/ramdisk.img" Its geting stucked in "uncompressing process" --- no error message -------------------------------------------------------------------------- you've mentioned to boot from floppy instead of cd rom
Please try the images I left up on ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/redhat/alpha See if that makes a ifferance
