I finally got to the bottom of this issue.
Very good!
I had to install from the Debian 11 cd, upgrade from the 12 cd and then upgrade to the Debian ports repo. I finally have a working system. The issue I have found with the console redirect problem is with the di kernel greater than 5.16-05. Changing of the console settings in the ipl has no effect. The full kernel has no issues with booting in the normal serial console. I know that this doesn’t effect a lot of parisc machines maybe just rp3410. I would be interested to know why this maybe the case?
Me too :-) I think I will try at some point myself, but I was sure it worked for me. Helge

On the new cd images I get Branching to kernel entry point 0x000e0000. If this is the last message you see you may need to switch your console. I’m using the management console via serial. I’m not sure what other options there are to switch to. Using a very old image I can get it to boot into the installer but it doesn’t detect the cd rom. The difference in early boot is that it detects the machine as a rp3410 then boots as it should. The ipl settings are the same with all the images I’ve used. Are there any kernel parameters I should try in ipl? When I get the console redirect message I get a red flashing light on the front panel and the machine is unresponsive and even the management console stops functioning. Given that it boots an older image I doubt it is hardware related. The only thing I can think of is it trying to redirect to the vga hardware that isn’t functional on these machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mike Hosken Sent via my iPhone
