Hi !
A new installation of a couple of AlphaServer 8400 has hit a
"minor" problem that needs a "hint" to get on the tracks again.
What they have is
TLSB
0++ KN7CE-AB 8014 0000 kn7ce-ab0
1++ KN7CE-AB 8014 0000 kn7ce-ab1
7+ MS7CC 5000 0000 ms7cc0
8+ KFTIA 2020 0C09 kftia0
C0 Internal PCI connected to kftia0 pci0
0+ ISP1020 10201077 0001 isp0
1+ ISP1020 10201077 0001 isp1
2+ DECchip 21040-AA 21011 0024 tulip0
4+ ISP1020 10201077 0001 isp2
5+ ISP1020 10201077 0001 isp3
6+ DECchip 21040-AA 21011 0024 tulip1
C1 PCI connected to kftia0 pci1
0+ KZPSA 81011 0000 kzpsa0
1+ KZPSA 81011 0000 kzpsa1
2+ KZPSA 81011 0000 kzpsa2
3+ KZPSA 81011 0000 kzpsa3
A+ DEC PCI FDDI F1011 0001 pfi0
B+ DEC PCI FDDI F1011 0001 pfi1
They set the ARC_ENABLE to ON and follow the "instructions" they
have.
What they get is
P00>>> run iso9660:[CDROM.UTILITY]UTIL_CLI.EXE -d dka400 -p 1
Invalid date. The correct date must be entered before continuing.
Please enter the date in the form yyyymmddhhmm : 199702061032
Configuration tree invalid, no eisa adapter.
How can one overcome this ?
Hints are welcome !
Regards
Roland

I believe the problem is the contents in the SIO's EEPROM.
What version of SRM console firmware are you running?
If you have V4.8-6 or a V4.3-3 flavor code, then there are
two new ARC commands to help clear the SIO's EEPROM.
set mode advance
clear_arc_nvram
clear_srm_nvram
If you do not have any of these versions, you can hand type
the commands in.
for clear_arc_nvram....
P00>>> dep eerom:0 ff -b -n 17ff
for clear_srm_nvram....
P00>>> dep eerom:1800 ff -b -n 7ff
Initialize the system, then try your 'run' command again.
