Hello! I tried to install Debian on my C3000 this weekend, using the latest iso images (sarge-hppa-netinst.iso).
When booting from CD the first problem was that the 'kernel' complained about some missing file: .../unix/unix.ko I tried to 'debug' the CD on another linux box and found out that the unpacked initrd takes more than 16 MB, that is the default for ramdisk_size. So I changed that in the IPL (to 32768) and afterwards the installation seems to work fine. [There is only a minor problem with the display and editing of strings, e.g when changing the default hostname 'debian' I cannot delete the first character 'd'. So when changing the hostname from 'debian' to 'test' the display will show 'dtest' ] After installating Debian to my SCSI harddisk the system is rebooting. There are two sym0: lines in the output and than the system 'freezes' I think normally it should look like this: sym0: <895a> rev 0x1 at pci 0000:00:0f.0 irq 65 # I have <896>, otherwise it is similar sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, LVD, parity checking # The same I get on my machine sym0: SCSI BUS has been reset. # I never get that line, machine freezes before its printed. Any ideas? I use Firmware 3.4. There is newer firmware, but I think I have to install a HP-UX 11.0 depot to get it - but how to do this when you only have HP-UX 10.20 ... I will try to get a serial connection this week to a) get some output I can copy&paste easily and b) try an older set of CDs I got, they don't work in graphics mode ... [BTW: I also have the sarge-hppa-businesscard.iso image which downloads packages from the web - will I get newer kernel or initrd files with this iso image if they are available, or do I have to throw away both CDs in case I have to wait for newer kernel/initrd images?] Erik __________________________________________________________ Mit WEB.DE FreePhone mit hoechster Qualitaet ab 0 Ct./Min. weltweit telefonieren! http://freephone.web.de/?mc=021201 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
