Hi All,

I am attempting to build a Tru64 Unix 4.0F ES40 over the network using RIS (Remote Installation Service). The system has some DE602 cards installed and it is over this adapter that I am attempting to build the system.

I can get the initial Kernel image to load over bootp/tftp but it seems then to complain about the DE602 NIC and then fails to continue with the build over the network. I assume that the kernel image it has loaded loading does not support these cards and therefore cannot continue to build the system.

Can someone please confirm and also provide any workarounds if possible.

Your assistance will be appreciated and a summary will follow.

Regards,

Zoran.
