Systems running Tru64 V4.0x on Charon-AXP could fail to boot with "panic (cpu 0): System does not have a console configured" message when upgraded to newer versions of Charon-AXP.
Example:

polling for units on kzpba0, slot 1, bus 0, hose 1 ...
pka0.0.0.1.1 PKA0 Q-Logic/ISP PCI SCSI HBA

Boot with genvmunix and update the kernel configuration file as described below:
P00>>>boot dka0 -file genvmunix |
Switch to multi-user if necessary by pressing CTRL-D and locate the configuration file (examples given below assume the configuration name is AXP001):
# ls -l /sys/conf/
total 191
-rwxr--r-- 1 bin bin 2095 May 14 2000 #.mrg..param.c
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 14319 May 14 2000 .new..param.c
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 14319 May 14 2000 .proto..param.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2069 Jul 12 19:18 AXP001
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 3269 May 14 2000 BINARY
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 39091 May 14 2000 GENERIC

In the example below, given for an AlphaServer 4100, we can see the controller ace0 has an invalid slot number for pci0 (eisa0) according to the Placement of peripheral devices on PCI bus for AlphaServer4100 (8 PCI slots) table (slot 4 belongs to pci1):
# cat /sys/conf/AXP001
... bus isp0 at pci1 slot 1 vector ispintr
controller scsi0 at isp0 slot 0
bus pci0 at mcbus0 slot 4
bus eisa0 at pci0 slot 1
callout after_c "../bin/mkdata eisa"
controller gpc0 at eisa0 slot 0 vector gpcintr
controller ace0 at eisa0 slot 4 vector aceintr
... |
# vi /sys/conf/AXP001
... controller ace0 at eisa0 slot 48 vector aceintr
... |
so the result will be:
# cat /sys/conf/AXP001
... controller ace0 at eisa0 slot 8 vector aceintr
... |
The kernel can now be rebuilt, replaced and the system can be rebooted:
# doconfig -c AXP001
*** KERNEL CONFIGURATION AND BUILD PROCEDURE ***
Saving /sys/conf/AXP001 as /sys/conf/AXP001.bck
Do you want to edit the configuration file? (y/n) [n]: <press enter>
*** PERFORMING KERNEL BUILD ***
Working....Fri Jul 12 19:33:11 ???? 2019
The new kernel is /sys/AXP001/vmunix
# cp -p /sys/AXP001/vmunix /
# shutdown -r now
