Bug#301504: Debian Installer RC 3 on PARISC
After doubling the ramdisk_size to 32768 and using a serial terminal as console (on ttyS0), the installer worked fine. So: Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: RC3 uname -a: palinux Date: Thu Mar 31 15:08:17 CEST 2005 Method: Booted from CD Machine: Hewlett Packard 9000-712/60 Processor: PA-Risc 1.1d - PA7100 LC (PCX-L) Memory: 64 MB Root Device: SCSI, /dev/sda Root Size/partition table: 625 MB Output of lspci: N/A Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked:[O] after ramdisk_size=32768 and console=ttyS0 Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems:[O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system:[O] Install boot loader:[O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Afterwards I had to modify /etc/inittab and reconfiguring console-data to get my console back on tty0 with the correct keyboard. But that has nothing to do with the installer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I already tried this but still got the 'Kernel panic' message. But, it HAS something to do with it. I doubled the initial ram-disk size set in palo (something like lilo on i386) and I no longer got the message about 'incomplete write'. I just got 'Kernel panic. No init found.' Probably some other messages just scrolled by and I did not have the time to read them; scrolling happens in just the top line, so you immediately loose the previous lines. Therefore I connected an HP Terminal (700/96; brings back memories :) and changed the console to the serial port. Now the machine booted just fine. So it took me TWO things to change: -doubling the ramdisk_size to 32768 -changing from framebuffer to serial console Probably de-activating the framebuffer could also help, but I tried the parameter debian_installer/framebuffer=false, and this still brought up the framebuffer console. Installation has just started, I'll keep you informed. Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Shouldn't it be a power of two, like 20480 ??? GSt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know nothing about hppa, but it may be that the ramdisk size is set too low. Could you check the ramdisk size in the boot configuration on the CD and try with a higher value? Try booting with something like 'linux ramdisk_size=2' (assuming you can manually enter boot parameters). Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
