[parisc-linux] Problems booting .61 ISO on 715/75

[Tom Hansen]

I have just downloaded the 0.61 ISO:

    palinux-0.6-32STI.iso.gz

from the HP site, burned a CD, and booted from the CD on my 715/75 Apollo, 
160MB, Toshiba 5701 CD-ROM. I'm using the built-in console, I don't have a 
serial console.

After what appears to be a successful start to the boot sequence (it 
identifies devices OK, etc.) it gets as far as the line:

    Console: colour dummy device 80x25

After this line is displayed, the CD is accessed for about 2 or 3 more 
seconds, after which everything stops.

Any ideas?

Hi,
  I don't think 715/old (which includes 715/75) have STI graphics,
so I wouldn't expect that to work.  In any case, my 715/75 hangs
later during install (serial console).  I think that is due to problems
with glibc (misaligned locks), which should be fixed in glibc 2.2.3
some time soon.
