[parisc-linux] Problems of instaling (booting) on a 715/75

[Peter Kolсhanov]

Hello,

I have 9000/715/75.

After my copm hang-up.

Trying scsi.2.0
Boot path initialized
Attempting to load IPL

Hard booted.

I'd suggest you boot the cd image (palinux-0.9.2.iso) using the serial 
console. I have the same system and the STI console does not work with 
that cd.

As soon as you have a minimal system running, switch the kernel image in 
/boot for this one:

	ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/vmlinux-32-20011008

Edit the /etc/palo.conf accordingly, re-run palo and reboot. I 
experienced scsi problems with the kernel in the cd image.

I'll try this with my J also to see what happens.  Unfortunately, despite
all the "junk" I brought home, the 700/92 has no keyboard (duh) and I could
not scrounge one today.  Oh well, back to the trash tomorrow.  BTW, if I can
scrounge a DB9<-->DB9 can I use a Reflection connection on my laptop as a
console?  I assume 9600/8/none/1 would be a good place to start?

Under linux, definitely. Try to find a real HP DB9-DB9 cable
as the only time I had seen problems was when someone used a cheapo
off-brand cable that didn't run all the lines.

9600-8N1 is correct default for all parisc machines that support
serial console.

If you have problems with this, check the mail archives first please.

[parisc-linux] bad local loopback (and 712 X query)

[Phil Anderson]

Hi all;

I send this with a dual purpose:

First:

I got my 712/80i running fine off the 0.9.2 ISO (it worked GREAT after I
tried the 32bit kernel and not the 64bit one :> ) Anyway, It runs pretty
well. So: has anyone gotten X working on a 712? and would like to share?

Second:
like I said, it works pretty well...
...except for the fact that while I'm using it (or even when it's just at
a tty login prompt) these errors come up:

ip_local_deliver: bad loopback skb: PRE_ROUTING LOCAL_IN
skb: pf=2 (unowned) dev=lo len=328
PROTO=17 0.0.0.0:68 255.255.255.255:67 L=328 S=0x10 I=0 F=0x0000 T=16


67 and 68 are bootp server and client ports, respectively. How can I get
rid of these? they prevent the box from being really useful because they
pop up every minute or so at the current cursor location, which is a major
detriment to doing, well, anything.

As far as I can tell, these packets are coming from the machine itself,
and it's attempting to send a broadcast packet over loopback. Perhaps by
turning off bootp services in /etc/inetd.conf?

thanks for your time,

-phil

I know this is kinda cheesey, but kill the dhcp-client process and at least
you won't get these messages anymore.  Long-term find out where in the rc
tree it is started and disable it (I haven't gotten that far yet).
