Hi, I have a problem where I cannot even boot a kernel on my RS6000 43P Model 150 that I got from work. I've setup a TFTP server and when I use boot net, I get the following;
0 > boot net:10.0.1.100,,10.0.1.7 console=ttyS0 load_ramdisk=1 devfs=mount LOAD: Waiting 60 seconds for Spanning Tree BOOTP R = 1 BOOTP S = 1 FILE: /tftpboot/tftpboot.img Load Addr=0x4000 Max Size=0xbfc000 FINAL Packet Count = 6484 Final File Size = 3319714 bytes. chrpboot starting: loaded at 0x00400000 initial ramdisk moving 0x3e89000 <- 0x005a2000 (176836 bytes) gunzipping (0x00010000 <- 0x00406c64:0x005a14fe)... Where 10.0.1.100 is the tftp server and 10.0.1.7 is the IP of the client machine being installed but it hangs indefinetly a this point. For tftpboot.img, I tried http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/vmlinuz-chrp-rs6k-di-beta3-2004.03.16, http://people.debian.org/%7Eluther/d-i/vmlinuz-2.4.25-powerpc-chrp-rs6k and http://people.debian.org/%7Eluther/d-i/vmlinuz-2.4.25-powerpc-chrp-rs6k.initrd But they all result in the same thing. I also tried feeding in the kernel parameters by using; setenv boot-file console=ttyS0 devfs=mount boot net But it resulted in the same thing. Judging from the archives, people have had similar problems but following the same instructions did not help me. I have to be doing something stupid as I barely know which way is up with the hardware :/. In case it makes a difference, I am installing this over a serial console as I get no reaction from the graphics card no matter what I do. To be honest, I'm hoping that this is booting and I just cannot see it because I fed in the kernel parameters wrong Thanks for any help people can give. -- Mel Gorman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
