RE: can't install image for miata ...

[Gary Grobe <Gary Grobe aspentech com>]

I've got 7Mb allocated on the first partition and 4Gb on the second. 

'show' on MILO presents:
Devices:
ramdisk (0100) fd (0200) ide0 (0300) sd (0800)
sda: sda1 sda2 sda5
hda:

I've tried hda and I get:
kernel: unaligned trap at fffffc0000d70268: fffffc0000039d69 29 2
... more of same
MILO: Failed to load the kernel

I format a floppy on NT, then do rawrite w/ several different images, then
use the hda device, but w/ no luck.

Remember that you should have at least a 2 megs. partition (windows fat) at
the first part of your harddrive because you are going to install the miata
on that partition.

Boot your Alpha with milo

At the milo prompt Insert the generic kernel into the floppy and type:

boot fd0:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/hda0     

Lets see what happens

		The machine I've got is a Persoanl Workstation 500a and I've
got the redhat
		6.1-alpha cd in the cdrom (hda0). 
		At the milo prompt I'm trying to boot with the following
line:

		boot fd0:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/hda0

		Theres a generic kernel image on the floppy created w/
rawrite.

		This results in a prompt w/: Hit any key to enter command
mode, ESC to boot
		immediately.
		If I hit any key, it just goes back to milo, and ESC just
brings this choice
		back around after unzipping the image (in a forever loop).

		boot hda:/images/generic.img root=/dev/sda1
		(after many lines of #####'s)
		results: Bad filehdr magic number 0x0 should be 0x183

		boot hda:/milo/images/miata.img root=/dev/sda1
		results: MILO: Failed to load the kernel

		boot hda:/milo/miata.gz root=/dev/sda1
		(after one line of ####'s)
		results: Bad filehdr magic number 0x41f should be 0x183

		boot hda:/images/ramdisk.img root=/dev/sda1
		(after one line of ####'s)
		results: Bad filehdr magic number 0x0 should be 0x183
		MILO: Failed to load the kernel

		I've also tried the generic-up-2.2.12 image, don't remember
what I got, but
		pretty much the same.

		Any help much appreciated.

		TIA 

		Gary
