Hi all
I have a strange problem here, I hope I can find anyone who experienced
it out there.

The system is Alphaserver 2100A Rackmount (8 PCI & 3 EISA slots)
running Tru64 Unix V 5.1 patchkit 5, has 2 CPUs and 2 Memory Modules
B2022-FA (512 MB) for a total of 1 GB memory.
When I try to install a third memory module (the same part number), the
system passes the test fine, I issue the boot command, starts booting,
but stops/hangs in the middle. I have brought the HP service to site
witha new module, and we made some replacing/swapping and he concluded
that the memory module is fine, it might be something software wise.

Am I missing something?

By the way, I have another system Alphaserver 2100 Rackmount (3 PCI & 8
EISA slots) running V 5.1 patch # 5, has 3 CPUs and 2 memory modules,
and when I insert this third memory module it works perfectly.
The The system bus slot allocation for both systems is the same. and
YES, I installed the memory module according to the bus slot
utilization map.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou

-Mohamed
