[parisc-linux] An easy installation on a K360/3 with 2.4.3-pa16-pdc

Thanks to the notes on the console causing a kernel crash I downloaded a
new iso and booted to the CD. Easy install, followed the prompts and it
was done. Now loading up apache, mysql and openssl. Should be in use as
my DB and app server in a few weeks at redone.vastute.com.

[parisc-linux] long bus walk times on boot up

[Derek Engelhaupt]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 909 bytes --]


Well, my C180 is gone to a new home and my C360 is well on it's way, but I had a question about the new netinstall ISO's out there.  I had been running the 2.4.19-pa19-20020922-netinst.iso on the C180 and it didn't have the bus walk issues that cause the long boot up times.  I really would like to avoid having my C360 take 20+ minutes to boot up.  Are there any real huge issues with running this older kernal on my C360 or are there any immediate plans to fix the issues of having to walk the entire bus?  I'm still a little weary of compiling my own kernal (only done this through SAM on HP-UX), but if I was forced to I could probably figure it out using the HOWTO's.  Is there a kernal parameter I could tweak that could resolve the long bus walk times?  Or am I just totally off base?  :)

2.4.19-pa19 should run fine on a C360.  the long bus walk problem
isn't yet fixed in the 2.4 CVS (but should be fixed in the 2.5 tree).
this isn't a ploy to persuade more people to use 2.5; it's just ryan
didn't get around to it yet ;-)

Derek or anyone else experience this problem,

Feel free to test out this patch.  This impliments Willy's idea and
seems to work find on linux-2.5.  I can not test this against cvs head
on linux-2.4 since my C200 HPMCs in cpu_idle().

I do not have time to track down the linux-2.4 boot issue right now, but
I will commit this patch once I get C200 to boot cvs head and if
feedback from the patch is good.

Thanks,

- Ryan
