[hppa-linux] Boot #4 and source on ftp site

[Jason Eckhardt]

Boot test #4: This is essentially the same code as #3 but I have taken
out some delays, modified the cache flush routines, and turned
verbose (debug) mode back on. I want to make sure that not having the delays
makes no difference and that no characters get dropped when there is a lot
of text (as in debug mode). Please let me know if the test still passes
as before. Hopefully this will be the last test for a while. Kernel work
comes next.

I have uploaded the binary as well as a new source drop to the ftp site. The
source is now GPL'd and a detailed README is included which gives an overview
of the boot code operation. This source supersedes any previous source you
may have laying around.

Hi !

Bootstrap #4 works again perfectly and very fast here on 715/64 via BOOTP/TFTP !
No Problems !

Works fine for me now.  I must have messed up the previous try, it
now boots up very quickly and gives me the spinning \|/- stuff.

Hi!

Tested bootstrap #4 with 735 (rbootd) and it worked OK.

Worked great again on my 715/80 off a scsi disk.

Works like a champ on a 720/50 via rbootd. Much snappier than the third
bootstrap test.

Works on B132L (early version B-class). Will try it on a newer
C-class next.

One gripe: The test code doesn't automatically reboot the box.
I use remote consoles and have to walk over to the machine room
to cycle power...remember I'm doing this in my "spare" time.

If/when a kernel debugger is working, rebooting from the debugger
would be a good thing. I think PDC will support this but don't
have a clue about the details.

Re: [hppa-linux] Boot #4 and source on ftp site

[Kumar]

	
	I  compiled without libmilli.a and it did compile.
	File ipl_s.s says 
	The object code is converted to LIF (logical interchange format)
	and then at the beginning of the boot media.

	So how do I convert the binary "ipl" to LIF. I tried "lifinit"
	and "mkboot" combination. But no luck, I keep getting 
	
	"Bad IPL size" and "Error reading IPL" error messages. 

	I tried "dd" also on the raw disk. No luck with that either.

	So my question is how to place built "ipl" binary at the
	appropriate place on the disk so that PDC finds it. Any magic
	combination of commands ? Looks like I am missing something
	obvious.


Thanks in advance,

You are on the right track.  After lifinit you have to use lifcp to copy
the file into the newly created LIF volume.  You also have to give it
the correct file type.  A script I use for creating bootable LIF
volumes looks something like:

#! /bin/ksh -x
LIF_FILE=uxbootlf
/bin/rm -f $LIF_FILE

lifinit `./iplopt ISL` -v8000000 -d32 -nL2DIAG -K2 -s4096 $LIF_FILE

lifcp -r -T-12800  -K2 ISL             $LIF_FILE:ISL
lifcp -r -T-12289  -K2 AUTO            $LIF_FILE:AUTO
lifcp -r -T-12928  -K2 HPUX            $LIF_FILE:HPUX

  That is one way. The way I do it for our very simple LIF volume is as folows:
  Once you have obtained the SOM ipl binary (after make), then:
   % strip ipl
   % mkipl ipl
   % mklifhdr hdr x y z a b c (see the utility for what these #'s mean)
   % cat hdr pad_file ipl vmlinux > bootstrap.bin

  pad_file is a 1024 byte file full of 0.

  I did forget to put this information into the README, sorry.
  Eventually (next few days, hopefully), there will be one utility "mkimg"
  that will automatically do everything above for you (particularly, picking
  the numbers which have to do with entry points, etc).
 
  Of course, vmlinux doesn't yet exist. I just have a simple dummy kernel
  I use there, which hasn't been included in the distribution. If you
  want to play around without the dummy kernel, just comment out the line
  in ipl_c.c that branches to the kernel and remove "vmlinux" from the
  concat line step above. You can then see the bootstrap run, but it won't
  try to execute the kernel.

  Have fun, Jason.

Re: [hppa-linux] Boot #4 and source on ftp site

[Kumar]

OK, in the spirit of Linux tradition, I was able to hack it
to finally work. After doing couple of hex dumps of given
bootstrap.bin :-) and realizing what was I doing wrong.

Also I  forgot to see the boot_utils directory. 

So it also works on a B class 180. All that we need now is a Vmlinux.

Your answer explains why I am not seeing the moving cursor.
I Did not add a dummy kernel to image.
 
Any reasons you included libmilli.a in Makefile ? Since I was
getting bad archive messages I took it out of Makefile. Does not seem
to affect anything.

Keep up the good work.

 Be sure to peruse every word of the README. There is a lot of information
 in that file that is not included in the source files. It explains
 the boot process, the boot image layout, and other details.

  I didn't include libmilli.a. Are you sure you have boot_rel_0.2.tar.gz, 
  the newest source code? If libmilli was added, somebody else did it. 
  It may be necessary to explicitly add libmilli when building with the cross
  tools, but I'm using HPUX and gcc 2.8.1 and the millicode is "automatically"
  linked in.
  Remember, boot_rel_0.2.tar.gz is the latest source and you should delete
  any previous source.
  Jason.
