High all,
Just downloaded 0.9.2 image, burned it, and gave it a try on my C110.
(should work afaik)
For the broad picture:
C110, 256MB mem PS/2 keyboard & mouse, two lan interface, neither connected
(yet) and no serial console)
Booting went well, switched to STI-console (nice tux in upperleft corner)
In a blink boot (cpu, mem, disks, lan) info flashed across the screen, and
then, instead of login, a graphic screen with a general debian message that
it is experimental software.
After that the system seems to be frozen...
Am i missing something?
Hans.

Not really - its the PS/2 keyboard hang that currently
affects B-class and apparently C-class machine. Possibly
others too. My B132 does the same. Some people have had
success unplugging and replugging the keyboard at this
point - trying to provoke a reset. This hasn't worked for
me though :-(

That is correct, you are about to install linux from CD, so you are seeing
the first screen of the installer output.

There are problems with the keyboard driver; for some people unplugging
the keyboard and this point and then plugging it in again clears the
problem. I found that an old Compaq keyboard did not lock up at all.
You should be able to press <space> or <return> on that screen and get
the main menu of the installer displayed.

Thanks Richard,
Tried it straight away, but no luck!
Neither keyboard or mouse unplug/replug, nor space, return, escape, ctrl-c,
ctrl-d or any function key seems to be noticed.
I'll try to find an other idle-hp-machine to see if i see the identical
behaviour....

Hi all,
Update to previous message, tried 0.9.2 on following other machines:
B180: identiacl behaviour to C110; system freezes after the "debian/gnu"
messages
B2000 system decided to load 32-bit kernel instead of 64-bit kernel: did not
boot at all.
712/100: system boots, and switches nicely to sti console, continues after
the "debian/gnu" screen
735/125: system fails to see the cdrom during the "search" (probably
scsi/hardware problem)
I tried to reboot the K-server and the R-server, but somehow people were not
all that pleased with me any more ;-)))
So i have to postpone that attempt, but as they are also 64-bit machines, i
expect same results as with the B2000.
Two other C110 systems also freezes after the "debian/gnu" screen
Kind regards, Hans

CD-Drive on systems with suckyio isn't supported yet. Randolph Chung
committed a first cut of support for it but it's not working yet.
(suckyio is in B/C/J with 4 digits behind it.eg B2000, C3000)
I expected the B2000 to boot with a 64-bit kernel too.
Perhaps the firmware needs to be updated? (See parisc-linux FAQ)
But you can build/install a 64-bit kernel later if you think it will help...
(See previous thread on this in the mail archive)

Yeah...I can imagine :^)
K, D, R class are architecturally very similar to C110/C200/C240 machines.
But no one plans on writing drivers for HP-PB devices (K-class).

I wouldn't - they are quite different.
