Hello everyone!

I have a problem installing NetBSD (tried NetBSD from 5.2 up to 6.01) on HP AlphaServer DS 25.
My step-by-step actions:
1. Downloaded NetBSD/alpha ISO from ftp://iso.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso and burned it.
2. Typed "boot dqa0" from SRM console to boot from CD.
3. Boot proceeds, and kernel starts to load, but load fails with "kernel stack not valid halt" error :(

I Googled about this problem (hoping it was a kind of SRM misconfiguration), but no luck :(( .I also noticed that the DS25 is not in "Supported System Models" list at http://www.netbsd.org/ports/alpha/ :(((

Is this system supported? Or is there anyone who had successfully installed NetBSD (any version) on the DS25??


Best regards,
Maxim.

G'day Max,

What's your SRM firmware level at? I've seen similar happen a number of 
times when I have the wrong PALcode in my DS20/DS10 or ES45.
