EIDE PCI Interrupt Vector Allocation Error (AlphaPC 164LX Only)
On the AlphaPC 164LX motherboard systems, the following error message is displayed in
the console's error log and may be displayed on the console terminal device during
power-up:
Vector allocation failed for hose 0, bus 0, slot 11, pin 1
Vector 0095 already allocated
The EIDE interrupts on the AlphaPC 164LX motherboard are routed through the ISA
interrupt control logic on ISA IRQ 14 and 15. Because the EIDE interrupts do not make
use of the PCI interrupt control logic, this error message can be ignored.
Updating to SRM Console from AlphaBIOS on AlphaPC 164LX/SX
The following describes how to create a floppy for updating an AlphaPC 164LX/SX system
to the SRM Console firmware from AlphaBIOS. This procedure overwrites the existing
AlphaBIOS firmware in the system with the SRM Console firmware.
1. Mount the Alpha Firmware CD on a PC and copy the appropriate file, as shown in the
table below, onto a blank, FAT-formatted diskette.
System
AlphaPC 164LX
AlphaPC 164SX
IMPORTANT: The file must not be renamed to something other than the file name
shown in the table above, and the file must be placed in the top-most (root) directory on
the floppy diskette, or the file will not be found by the AlphaBIOS firmware update
utility.
2. Place the floppy in the target system, and from the AlphaBIOS setup menu, select
"AlphaBIOS Update".
