The last image i tried was the Nov 11 snapshot. That one did not work for me at all. This one was much better. A few glitches - i am doing a net install, but the default kernel had no driver for the tulip card that is common to almost all hppa systems. It did find the tg3 addon card that i had in the system and i was able to use it to do the install. After reboot, the system did not come up automatically. This seems to be because the initrd parameter was missing from the palo command line installed by the installer. If i manually add initrd=2/initrd.img, then the system boots up fine. doing task installation it complained about not being able to install some packages. i think it is the kernel-image package that it was complaining about...... there was also a message about not being able to install read-edid, altho that didn't seem to cause any problems. oh, and please remove saveserial from the hppa package list. it's not needed and causes all sorts of problems. thanks, randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
