Oh i see... how do i change from AlphaBIOS to SRM? i have a firmware update cd at home - do i have to rename the SX164_V5_7.EXE file to FWUPDATE.EXE and put that on a floppy? at least thats what i think is to be done... and then "update firmware" in the setup menu... or am i thinking wrong? To the scsi-adapters : i think AHA-2940 is supported, but im not sure. A NCR Controller with the same chip (53C810 ?) like some alphas have onboard, should work under SRM. > --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- > Von: Bojan "ÿffff8aernek" <sinergitized@xxxxxxxxx> > An: Linux on Alpha processors <axp-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Betreff: Re: Help needed for install on 164SX > Datum: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 02:38:21 -0700 (PDT) > > On my 164sx, SRM supports my IDE disks and CDROMS ok. > My only wish would be that it would support my adaptec > SCSI controller, which, strangely enough, worked under > AlphaBIOS.
