Description Kevin Granade 2010-03-24 04:04:07 UTC 
When booting the installer on my AlphaServer 800, boot proceeds normally until it reaches the message "Scanning for DAC960...", then it hangs indefinitely.  Previously I tried the install-alpha-minimal-2008.0 install CD, but that ended with a Kernel Panic.  The part of the panic traceback I could see seemed to indicate it was probing the DAC960 when the panic occurred.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot install cd on AlphaServer 800 using aboot
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
System hangs when it tries to probe DAC960 RAID Controller.

Expected Results:  
Boot and bring up RAID controller.

Alright, this was a false alarm, after upgrading the DAC960's firmware to the latest version (4.70), everything seems to be peachy, cheers.
