I'm trying to create a bootable tape using the btcreate utility. The whole process executes perfectly, but when I try booting of the tape it gives the following error:
jumping to bootstrap code
halted CPU 0
halt code = 2
kernel stack not valid halt
PC = 20000004
P00>>>
Could this be that the partition chosen for the miniroot location is automatically picked as part of btcreate, and it takes a mounted disk partition, thus not creating a correct kernel?
Any input would seriously be appreciated, as my thought patern is at an end.
Thank you in advance
Paul

Re: btcreate error/problem
I ran the /usr/sys/bin/btcreate command. This takes you to an interactive command line interface. It prompts you for the kernel file, where the default is correct, whether you want to use MFS, etc. The tape creation process runs without any errors though, just when the boot-up from tape comes around that it complains.

Re: btcreate error/problem
did you use a MFS filesystem for your miniroot?
If not, try to use it.
I've attached a screen copy of btcreate I have done some times ago.
Hope this helps, Erich.

Re: btcreate error/problem
I tried your way, but the boot still fails with the same error:
jumping to bootstrap code
halted CPU 0
halt code = 2
kernel stack not valid halt
PC = 20000004
P00>>>
Did your bootable tape work? Could the error be a result of device inconsistencies as during my btcreate process it doesn't give the following lines:
Creating device files on mfs...
procprod: using MfsBase 0x140010000
procprod: pid 5351, MfsBase 140010000, 30720 sectors, output ==> "/var/tmp/procprod/mfsImage"
It says something else after the "Create device files on mfs..." prompt.

Re: btcreate error/problem
did you use the "nc" boot flags for booting your tape ?
>>>> boot -fl "nc"

Re: btcreate error/problem
I did use the "nc" flag yes. I'm not sure what it means though :-)

Re: btcreate error/problem
I don't know the meaning of these flags. I have created a test boot-tape and booted successfully, Tru64 V5.1b, Patchkit 3. If not using the "nc" flags, boot fails, but not with the same error codes you have.
Erich.
