Hi all,

after install the degpa in ds20 and tru64 4.0f,

You might want to compare your /etc/sysconfigtab file entry for the DEGPA
with the one listed below. This is taken from a V4.0f system.

Where did you get the DEGPA ?

If you purchased it from HP, are you certain that it was ordered for an Alpha
and not an HP UX system ?

You might try booting the system into genvmunix and then try running sizer -n {filename}
to generate a new kernel configuration file. The existing vmunix image may not
have knowledge of the device.

You may also have to enter the device manually in the configuration file, then rebuild
the kernel.

Hi,

the card is from compaq for alphaserver.
I try the genvmunix and sizer, but the problem is the same error message from genvmunix, and sizer -n ist without alt0.

Best regards

Firmware is uptodate, DEGPA-SA and DEGPA-TA are the only supported options with DS20.

So please check what type of DEGPA you have installed.
