You should ask Helge Deller for advise as he is the expert for Linux on PA-RISC and also the upstream maintainer of the PA-RISC Linux kernel code. > I haven't come around to build installation media myself as mentioned in > the thread [1]. Building your own installation media is a bit involved, here is an outdated guide for it: https://wiki.debian.org/PortsDocs/CreateDebianInstallerImages I'm not 100% sure what the best approach for building debian-installer with your own custom kernel is. But I guess you could just swap the kernel image in the installer images tarball with your own one and maybe unpack the debian-installer initrd.gz and replace the modules directory in /lib/modules/. > But now I want to tackle that problem again (no kernel messages) in > order to finally have Linux running on my C3750 art some point in time. > I want to boot my test kernels over the network. > > My questions are: > > - which kernel version and config to use? I've tried latest Linus > version and 'generic-64bit_defconfig', but this gives compilation errors. What errors are you seeing? The vanilla kernel should build fine. Here is a quick guide on how to cross-build a Linux kernel for SPARC, the same applies to PA-RISC, just download the corresponding toolchain for hppa instead of sparc64: https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2025/10/msg00103.html > - how would I build a bootable LIF file after I'm able to compile a > kernel? In the first step without userland, just to see the kernel messages. No idea. Ask Helge ;-). Adrian -- .''`.
