Re: digital alpha server 4100 booting problem
unless the system is at the console prompt '>>>', you can't enter anything anyway.
You are trying to type on the notebook keyboard, right ?!
Can you press the HALT button ? What happens on the console terminal ?
Volker.

Re: digital alpha server 4100 booting problem
Thank you all,Iam able to login through serial console now.But I cant start graphical console.
I tried
>>>SET CONSOLE GRAPHICS
>>>INIT
but it still reaches unly upto a blue screen.
I still cant connect a keyboard directly to the server,I tried but it give a keyboard error.
Without a keyboard the graphical screen will not initialize?
Is it because of any problem with the graphic card?( I checked it with a windows machine,it is working)
Regards

SolutionDid you check SYSGEN parameters required by DECWindows ?
MIN_CHANNELCNT = 255
MIN_CLISYMTBL = 512
MIN_GBLPAGES = 150000
MIN_GBLSECTIONS = 600
GH_RES_CODE = 1024
GH_RES_DATA = 512
MIN_IMGREG_PAGES = 2000
MIN_MAXBUF = 8192
MIN_NPAGEDYN = 2000000
ADD_PAGEDYN = 600000
MIN_PQL_DPGFLQUOTA = 32768
MIN_PQL_DBIOLM = 100
MIN_PQL_MBYTLM = 100000
MIN_PQL_MDIOLM = 100
MIN_PQL_DENQLM = 300
MIN_PQL_MFILLM = 100
MIN_PQL_MPGFLQUOTA = 32768
MIN_PQL_MPRCLM = 10
MIN_PQL_MWSDEFAULT = 1024
MIN_PQL_MWSEXTENT = 8192
MIN_PQL_MWSQUOTA = 2048
MIN_PROCSECTCNT = 64
MIN_SWPOUTPGCNT = 512
WINDOW_SYSTEM = 1
MIN_WSMAX = 12000
I found this values in my modparams.dat. But I recommand, that you check the DECWindows manual prior to applying those values.
If you can't login over DECnet or TCP/IP then you have to use your serial console connection to check/change this.

Heinz

Re: digital alpha server 4100 booting problem
The most reliable way will be to check the DECWindows installation guide. The procedure, how to check those parameters are described within this maunal. You can find there also the most actual values for above parameters.
You can find a DECwindows installation guide under the following url:
