Hi list,
I've read some replies to this question,
but it did not make a lot of sense to me.
I think your system is neither UDB (aka Multia) nor Noname (aka AXPpci33).
Both of those use a 21066 CPU (basically a 21064 with built-in memory and
pci controller)
Multia / UDB is also a very small case , so you would never get a 2GB SCSI
disk
and a CD-ROM in there.
It could be a XL or XLT type.
What does the case look like?
How many slots (PCI/ISA/EISA) are in the system ?
Jaap

Subject: [suse-axp] how can i identify my old alpha-system ?
Hi there !
I am totaly new in linux and in alpha, so excuse me, if i ask "stupid
things"...
I bought an old alpha-box at an online-auktion, but i think the man who
sold it did not know, what he had there -
i think he took it out of the waste...
So i have no documentation, which machine i have here, is there anybody
who can help me identify my machine
i give You all the facts i could get out of the box:
Processor ID: 21064
Processor Revision: 3
System Revision: 0x1
Processor speed: 166.66Mhz
Physical Memory: 80MB
Firmware: Version 4.58 990105.0918
Harddisc (SCSI) DEC RZ28B (C) DEC0006 (~2GB)
CD-ROM: TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-5701TA0557
Compaq Graphic-card (S3-Chip: 86C385)
the name of the motherboard is not sure - maybe it's a EB66+ (some
people at an austrian alpha dealer said so...)
so, i'm searching for someone who can give me more information, what box
i have here and if i need a
new firmware and where i can get it, and, when i have it - how to
install it.
My current problem is, how to install a new (IDE) harddisk (maxtor 30GB)
in my system...
I have SuSE LiNUX 6.4 running now, but when i install the harddisk, the
computer stops
the bootsequence after:
"ide: Assuming 40Mhz sy<stem bus speed for PI0 modes; override with
idebus=xx
hda: Maxtor 33073H4, ATA DISK drive
hda: IRQ probe failed (0)
hda: IRQ probe failed (0)
hda: IRQ probe failed (0)"
after that output, the system stops, and only reacts on the power-switch
:(
ok enough for today (and - excuse my terrible english)
greetings
otto adam
