[parisc-linux] booting images

[Timothy Ball]

I have a 735 and have had a bit of a time to try to get this thing to
boot and install. I have downloaded the palinux-0.9-32sti.iso.gz file
from the parisc website. Is there anything special I have to do to this
image to make it bootable?

gunzip the .gz, burn a CD from the ISO, boot the 735 from the CD.
Read the how-to-install URL:
http://www.parisc-linux.org/software/install.html

ESIEE also has written how-to's which might be more up-to-date.
The parisc-linux mail archive (see http://lists.parisc-linux.org/)
has the URL's - most likely in the June 2001 archive if you don't
want to search.

Okay I got the iso and it's booting... but then it gets down to these
last few lines:

--snip--snip--snip--
CPU(s): 1x PA7100 (PCX-T) at 125.000000 MHz
Kernel command line: HOME=/ TERM=linux root=/dev/ram console=tty0 sti=0
sti_font=VGA8x16
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
--snip--snip--snip--

Then it hangs... Not sure what to do...

http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/list.html says 735 is only known to work
with serial console.  Don't know if that is still valid.  You
should try the 0.9.1 ISO available from ESIEE, but please wait until
they have fixed it - the one currently available does not boot at all!
