This article was previously published under Q119005 SYMPTOMS
When you install a COMPAQ NetFlex 32-bit controller in a DEC Alpha system,
you are prompted for the Compaq EISA configuration utility, which ships on
a disk with the COMPAQ NetFlex controller. However, once you insert the
disk, an error message appears indicating that the file CPQ6100.OVL cannot
be found, and you are unable to successfully install the controller.
CAUSE
On the Compaq EISA configuration disk, there is a !CPQ6100.CFG file, which
is read when you install the network card. That file references the
CPQ6100.OVL file, which is specific to the x86 platform.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, open the !CPQ6100.CFG file in a text editor,
and remove the line:
Also remove any other references to the CPA6100.OVL file that you find
there. Save this new !CPQ6100.CFG file to the Compaq disk (after first
backing up the original !CPQ6100.CFG file).
