hi there,

we have tried to install Linux on a Alpha XL/366.

So the first thing we did was to install MILO on the machine. The machine
has alpha-BIOS and we followed the respective guidelines from
www.redhat.com.

When we tried to install milo, we get the following messages:

Linux Loader V1.3

Copyright(c) 1994,1995 Digital Equipment Corporation

System Partition is OSLOADPARTITION=scsi(1)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)
Load File Name is OSLOADFILENAME=\milo
Load Path is multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)\milo
OSLOADFOPTIONS=run fd0:fmu.gz

Opening file multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)\milo ...
Loading file at 0x80080000 ...

Getting firmware parameters ...

...Memory size is 0x10000000 bytes

Setting up arguments for Milo @ 0x801FFC00

Setting up memory size for Milo @ 0x801FFE00

Swapping PALcode at 0x80000 ...

Then everything stops.

Can you tell me whats going wrong here?

P.S.: The machine has a preinstalled WIN-NT 3.51
BIOS-Version is 5.24

Thanks in advance

A. Abele
