We recently removed an RM05 from Massbus 0 and installed an RUA81 on the Unibus. We also have an Eagle running with an Emulex Massbus controller on Massbus 2. We have a spare Massbus 1 which isn't connected to anything and has never caused us any problems. Right after installing the RUA81 we started having problems with rebooting the system. It will not auto-reboot and most times will hang rebooting after taking the system down with "shutdown". The output we get before it hangs is: 167720+56384+35416 start 0xf30 4.2 BSD UNIX ... realmem = 4452352 availmem = 3508224 using 217 buffers containing 445440 bytes of memory mcr0 at tr0 mba0 at tr4 At this point it stops. We have found that pushing the button will make it boot correctly as will turning it off and back on again. Question: Has anyone ever heard of this type of thing before? My guess is that either the RUA81 is not allowing everything to reset correctly on shutdown or the lack of a device at mba0 and mba1 is confusing the autoconfiguration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Richard Johnson raj@uci (ARPA) UCI ICS Systems Manager ucbvax!ucivax!raj (UUCP)
