Re: System booting problem after VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installation
what happens when you boot ? Bugcheck ? Please attach a console output from your boot attempt as an ASCII .TXT file to your next reply.

Re: System booting problem after VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installation
you can remove the patch by booting from the OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 CD:
$$$ MOUNT/OVER=ID DKA0: ! assuming this is your V8.3 system disk
$$$ define pcsi$sysdevice DKA0:
$$$ define PCSI$SPECIFIC PCSI$SYSDEVICE:[SYS0.] ! assuming there is a [SYS0] root
$$$ prod undo patch/remote
I've just successfully done this to recover from a CPUSPINWAIT crash during boot after installing VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 on a PersonalAlpha V1.2.2 emulator...

Re: System booting problem after VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installation
is anybody running V8.3 with VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installed on a non-SMP system ? I'm trying to determine, if this a generic patch kit problem...

I have it running without issue on a DS10 EV6/466MHz system.
I also have it running on my own and my colleague's Personal Alpha.

Duncan

Re: System booting problem after VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installation
thanks for the reply. Do you have any additional patches installed on top of VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 ? And did you install those patches at the same time without rebooting immediately after the installation of the V0400 update patch ?

Re: System booting problem after VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installation
it looks like you've installed VMS83A_UPDATE V4.0, VMS83A_MANAGE V1.0 and VMS83A_DCL V1.0 in one step (the V8.3 PROD SHOW HIST does not list the time anymore). At that time, you could not have been running PersonalAlpha V1.2.2. Which version of PersonalAlpha are you running now ?
Thanks,
Volker.

Re: System booting problem after VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installation
original list was from the DS10.
New prod hist attached from Personal Alpha.
Currently at 1.2.2, but obviously was prior version at the time of the UPDATE-V0400 patch.
The UPDATE-V0400 patch was applied on its own, followed by the other 2 patches, and then the reboot.
contact details in the attachment

Re: System booting problem after VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400 installation
sorry for hi-jacking your thread. If you provide details of your problem, I will also help you to solve your boot problem.
Duncan,
I had installed HP IDLE V1.0 on that PersonalAlpha. This causes the CPUSPINWAIT early during boot after applying VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400.
>>> b -fl 0,30000 shows
...
%SYSINIT-I-ALTLOAD, loading site specific execlets
%LOADER-I-INIT, initializing
%LOADER-I-INIT, initializing
**** OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V8.3 - BUGCHECK ****
** Bugcheck code = 0000078C: CPUSPINWAIT, CPU spinwait timer expired
After removing IDLE V1.0 and installing IDLE V1.1, I could successfully boot after applying VMS83A_UPDATE-V0400.
IDLE is a utility provided by HP through Emulators-International or SRI (idleloop.vdisk) with PersonalAlpha or CHARON-VAX/AXP and provides a callout in the idle loop to allow the emulator to release the CPU and drastically reduces the host system (Windows) CPU consumption when running the CHARON emulators.
