[parisc-linux] C3600 install

["Matej Martini" <calibrator@gmx.net>]

Hi

I recently bought a Visualize C3600, my first PARISC box. After playing
around with HP-UX for some days I would like to install my favoured OS ;)
on this really nice machine. FXE-graphics isn't supported so I do this via
serial line. I tried Gentoo (2.4.26-pa1) and an older Debian netinstall
(2.4.20) but I don't get far.  All I get looks like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Command line for kernel: ' root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc cdroot

Selected kernel: /vmlinux from partition 0
Selected ramdisk: initrd from partition 0
Warning: kernel name doesn't end with 32 or 64 -- Guessing...

message you see, you may need to switch your console.  This is
a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this point the machine seems to hang. As mentioned above this is my first
PARISC box. I'm not that familiar with the hppa architecture. Maybe it's
just a silly thing I haven't noticed. So if anyone can give me a hint I
would be glad...
