My pet project lately has been getting A/UX going on an SE/30. This project went fine - I even succeeded in installing 3.0.1 off of an unsupported DVD-ROM - until I tried to upgrade to 3.1.
The upgrade installed fine, but when the system rebooted to boot into 3.1 for the first time I got "panic: ialloc: dup alloc". A little FAQ investigation showed that the filesystem was dirty despite being marked clean, so I took the recommended course of fsck -y /dev/default and attempting to boot. No more "dup alloc" complaint, but nothing else, either. It just hangs at the gray screen after A/UX startup disappears (presumably this is the handoff to A/UX itself from the initial System 7.0.1 boot).
My SE/30 has 128MB of RAM installed (brand new); a 2GB drive of unknown provenance, but which has always worked until now; and an Asante MacCon, the SE/30 model, with 10bT, AUI and 10b2 connectors.
Has anyone seen problems like this before?
Also, as a side note: The FAQ says that 3.1.1 can't be run reliably on the SE/30 (among other MacII-based models), but it doesn't elaborate beyond that. Can anyone explain why the SE/30 can't run 3.1.1?
Thanks. :b&w:
