[parisc-linux] HP 9000/735-125

[Jorge L. deLyra]

I just booted the palinux-0.5.iso CD on a HP 9000 model 735 workstation.
It went on quite a bit before hanging immediatelly after reporting the
serial ports. Gave large amount of what looks like traceback or state
information. Question: would it do anyone any good if I tried to get
everything the kernel said before the hang into a message in this list?

							Cheers,

Certainly. I won't be able to debug the problems since I (a) don't have
the time too (unless it's obvious) and (b) don't have a 735 setup
for testing.

This is becoming a FAQ:
"My system crashed after ...  What should I do next?"

I'm thinking people in the support space would know how to write
this one really well :^)
Is I get one in the mail, I'll add it to our FAQ.

thanks,

Jorge,

I have a 735-125 and am able to net-boot it on a custom configured kernel as
long as I disable the ASP parallel ports. It works quite well using an NFS
root as I cannot get the SCSI hard drives to mkfs. I was going to try and
debug it but have yet to find the free time. I can e-mail you my working
.config for the kernel, or build kernels (tested on my own 735) for people
if they need them.

Steve,

I really would like to get the parallel-port problems on ASP get fixed as 
soon as possible.
Could you please mail me your bootlog (with parport enabled), so I can try to 
track down the problem.
Maybe you can also check out CVS again, and test if this version works for 
you ?

Thanks,
	Helge Deller

Helge,

My mistake! I did a full build with todays CVS and parport didn't die. So
somewhere between the 17th and now parport must have been fixed.

Now, maybe you can help me identify my SCSI problem. I don't know if it is
because of driver issues or a bad disk (completly likely). Do other people
have the Fast SCSI2 working on their 735s?

Whenever I do a mke2fs (after partitioning the drive with fdisk ok) it dies.

At bootup I get:

Of course the I/O errors continue on for a long time. Are these bad drives?
Or is there a problem with the driver that still needs to be worked out?

Thanks for all your help, I hope my spews of debug output are helpful,

OK, here goes. I want to congratulate you all on this effort. We have five
of these HP-9000 stations here, quite old by now. They used to be our main
number crunching force. They are wonderfully built hardware in bad need of
a wonderful system on them!  |:-)

Well, looks like the problem is known, good! But we have a queer little
problem with our machines here, we are unable to boot from the network. I
think we did everything right, in fact, we are trying to use a server here
other machines boot from, it has dhcp, boopt, tftp, rarp, the works. We
set it all up, put the kernel on the tftpboot area, tested all that we
could by other means but, when we try to net boot the HPs, we are faced
with complete silence on the network. No logs on the server, nothing.

A little explanation might be needed: these are not really native 735-125
models, they were upgraded from older 720-50 models by card swapping. I am
not sure whether all cards were changed, maybe some aspects of the machine
are still old. The syntax of the net boot procedure in them is strange,
you have to put in the hardware address of the server, which is unusual.

I _suspect_ that this bios does not use tcp/ip for the net boot, but some
HP proprietary protocol relating to that clustering software they have or
used to have for these machines, in which you ran several stations out of
the disks of a single one. In any case, a listing of what happens on the
console on a net-boot trial goes below. We had a tail -f on the system log
of the server, we had tcpdump listening, but nothing at all shows up...

This has been reported on 715/50 (Robert Duncan) and 715/75 (me) round
about November 15th.  At the time I tried a current cvs kernel on my

I have a 53c700 on my 715/75, and the driver was having trouble
with a CRDOM I attached, so it has some problems.  I wrote the
driver, but havn't used the 715/75 for a while since latest kernels
wouldn't boot for me.  I'll get it going again and see if the scsi
driver still works.

Hi Steve,

I checked in yesterday a modified version of
/drivers/parport/parport_gsc.c with an "#if 0 ... #endif" in the code. 
Could you try to boot again with "#if 1" (search for the text which says
something like "enable bidirectional PS/2 mode") and try again ?
If this hangs your machine I will implement a better work-around.

I think Richard Hirst can help you much more with your SCSI-problems than
me.  

NB: Does your chassis LEDs work with the new kernel, and if not, could you
send me your bootlog (or "dmesg | grep led") ?

Greetings,

I believe the 735/755 type machines require rbootd to boot from the network.
rbootd is available at:

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/tgz/rbootd-2.0-2.tar.gz

Ah! This is it, then! Had never heard of this beast before. I see it is
available for i386, nice, our server is a Pentium. Well, thanks a whole
lot for the tip, we are certainly trying this. Well, back to work...

OK, rbootd is up and running, the station now establishes instantaneous
communication with the server. But it says "bad LIF magic" and does not
boot. I presume I can't just put the precompiled kernel in there. Since
I cannot cross-compile for the time being (bad HP server disk crash) is
there a net-boot kernel somewhere that I can download and try?

I got my 715/75 to boot.  The scsi driver still has problems with my
CDROM drive, but the disk seems ok.  I ran mke2fs of a 1Gig partition
a few times and then copied 200MB of files from the network to it.

I will go under the assumption that it could be the disks and their possible
age and try and find suitable replacements.

Once I do get disks working is there a "Recepe" on how to get it to boot
from your local drive.

I would figure just copy over the NFS root, but then where do I put the
lifimage so that boot manager can find it.

Until then I'll just keep booting from the network.

There is a README.INSTALL on the 0.5 beta CD image:

The CDROM problem is because my cdrom drive rejects all multi-byte
messages after the first byte, and the driver get confused.  I'll
fix that, but I don't expect that particular fix to help you.

Possible - sometimes just jumpers are missing or need to be removed.
Make sure disks spinup on their own first.

I'm not sure Linux SCSI disk driver knows how to deal with
"Not ready" and/or send START_UNIT commands. HPUX definitely does.

Yes - the /README.INSTALL on the v0.5 ISO image.
Not sure if that's posted elsewhere on www.parisc-linux.org.

The "palo" step does that for you.

The kernel on the v0.5 ISO image did spin up the disk on the SCSI bus when
I tried booting it the first time, right after turning on the machine. It
hangs later, but has no problems at this point... On subsequent tries the
disks were already spinning, of course, so it did nothing...

Hi,

Just a thought: are you shure, that you did "make palo" and exported 
palo/lifimage  instead of vmlinux ?

oops,

The current code should let your heartbeat-LED blink two times per second and 
LAN-TX, LAN-RCV and DISK-IO-LED should blink each after another...

I just did the naive thing and put the precompiled kernel from the site
there. According to the docs on the NFSROOT that might work, I mean, it
says there that there are two alternatives, with and without palo...

> oops, 
> I just saw, that you currently _can_not_ cross-compile..... :-(

Yes, we are working towards this, but I read in the docs that for the time
being you can only cros-compile the kernel on HP-UX, so we must first fix
our HP-UX systems here. In any case, it will take a little while until we
tool up to do the cross-compilation, no matter where...

> But if you still want to download a kernel I can make one available for 
> you.....

This would be very nice! If you do that, please tell me where I can get
it. It might be a goot idea to have this net-bootable lifimage version of
the kernel on the ftp site side-by-side with the precompiled kernel which
is already there, don't you think?

I've just committed a fix which should work on both (ASP & LASI)...
Would you mind to test this stuff again ?

That's definitely wrong. Where did you read this?
(I would like fix the reference)

Those of us still cross compiling are using x86-linux hosts.

It is on the nfsroot howto linked from the home page of the project:

STEP 1. KERNEL BUILDING

Get the latest linux-2.3 tree from CVS.

a) If you use the standard boot loader

Edit DEFAULT_COMMANDLINE in linux-2.3årch/parisc/boot/boot_code/ipl_c.c
to read:

        "vmlinux HOME=/TERM=LINUX root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.1"

b) If you use PALO

Edit the echo line in palo/mklifimage to read

        "vmlinux HOME=/TERM=LINUX root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.1"

In both cases replace 10.0.0.1 with the IP address of your NFS server.

Copy the .config included below to the root of the linux source tree.

make oldconfig
make dep
make clean
make Image (Or make palo, if you use Paul's loader)
Due to linker issues cross compiling is still not possible. I.e. you
have to build on HP/UX.

Ok. I'm not going to touch the archives.
I can update the link if someone provides the content.
Any volunteers to rewrite the NFS root howto and bring it up to date?

Yes!  I'm redoing the FAQ, and will make sure it all gets a review.

However, I don't actually know that NFS Root needs to be included in the
parisc-linux specific documentation, since we don't have to use nfsroot
anymore.  There's a generic NFSROOT HOWTO we can refer to.

We really only put that in there for when we couldn't write to our local
disks.

The configure and build for glibc needs updating.  The compiler to
use has to be set with the environment variable CC or by some other
means.  There are also some configure parameters like --PREFIX which
should be lower case.

The one I have here is HP part # 1253-0635.

If you can't find one locally I can ship you one, as long as it's for Linux
