I've run several tests on a B180L, and only after downgrading to palo-1.3 I was able to boot again. Am I the only one seeing this problem ? Anyone maybe has an idea what has been changed ?

Ok, I will test this tomorrow (the machine is in the office).. Thanks for the hint, Helge ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

No - I've been seeing it on the c3600 as well. I haven't tried 64-bit kernels. And downgrading iplboot to 1.3 also solves it for me too. palo 1.3 deb is available here in case someone has upgraded: http://iou.parisc-linux.org/~grundler/palo/palo_1.3_hppa.deb thanks to paul bame for keeping those around. > Anyone maybe has an idea what has been changed ? nope...have to look at palo since it doesn't matter which kernel I attempt to boot, it doesn't work. Note that I tried to build palo v1.2 and that failed the same way. So it's possibly a compiler issue with real-mode code.

When I last tried to build palo 1.4 the iplboot turned out bigger (8K, iirc) than the one in the official deb, and mine didn't work. Didn't have time to figure out why.

Same here on 3750. Boot fails with ext2_init: bad magic 0x0 Downgraded, reran palo and the problem is gone. Command line is >128. I shortened it a bit but I think this a problem for people using graphics consoles. Dave -- J.
