Hello there. I've got an Apollo 9000 715/33 that I'm installing PA-Linux on to use as a syslog server. Equipment I have for use in the system are: 2GB DDS drive, HP Colorado 4000 TR4 drive, Plextor CDROM, an array of available SCSI drives that all work. Machine has ROM versions: PDC 1.4, IODC 1.2, 16MB ram.
I am installing from the STI-32bit image, using a standard HIL keyboard. Date _is_ set before booting from CD. My issue is that I can boot from the install CD, and the kernel starts to load, I get a display of devices detected (serial, HIL, video etc. 11 total) ------------<snip>----------- ... That's a total of 11 devices. CPU(s): 1 x PA7100 (PCX-T) at 33.333500 MHz Kernel command line: HOME=/ TERM=linux root=/dev/ram \ console=tty0 sti=0 sti_font=VGA8x16 Console: colour dummy device 80x25 -------------<snip>---------- Hangs here. I'm guessing it has to do with the 1.4 ROM version I'm using. I'm currently trying to updateto 1.6, but can't run HP's update (PF_C7X50016) script within a Linux/Intel box as I get an "unary operator expected" error and it halts. Any ideas? I appreciate any responses and will try all recommendations. My pre-emptive thanks! Cheers, /eli Eli Stair <I'm on vacation, and so is my .sig!>
