Using the MILO install procedure for Red Hat Linux v6.0 for the Alpha. Created the 3 diskettes and verified the images were correctly coppied to the diskettes. Used milo/images/xlt.img for MILO diskette Used images/generic.img for BOOT diskette Used updated version of images/ramdisk.img for RAMDISK diskette The MILO part works allright. At the MILO prompt I type: boot fd0:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1 (Same procedure I used with 4.2; 5.1 and 5.2 on the same machine.) Afterloading the compressed image from the diskette the machines freezes completely. (I actually had dinner to give it some time but it never got past this stage.) Machine type: ALCOR XLT-300 RAM: 64MB Controller: SCSI (onboard NCR 53C810) Pretty much standard issue and at present it runs Red Hat Linux 5.2 but as I need some 2..2.x kernel items I would like to upgrade pretty soon. Ackwardly enough I wrote a dutch booklet on how to install Alpha machines. The instructions are better then those in the Red Hat Linux 6.0 Alpha Installation Addendum. Some of the MILO commands are incorrect there! (Such as the ones in sections 1.3) Regards, Hugo. <hugo>
Were you able to install 6.1 on this system?
Closing this bug out due to lack of activity.
