[parisc-linux] Booting palinux on model 735 problems.

[Aleksandr Konstantinov]

Sorry for double message.



Hello All.

  I have problem.
 We have here two HP Apollo 9000 Series 700 Model 735 boxes (both
identical).  I tried to boot
palinux-0.5.iso on one of them. Because boxes have no cdrom I did it
through network using 
rbootd (slightly modified to accept empty target names) giving it whole
cdrom device as target.
It started ok, listed all devices available on board and passed to (all
strings are copied from
screen)

  ASP version 20 at f0800000 found.

Then it waits a bit and writes at screen

  Running stack from ...

and dumps a lot of data. Then it ends with

  High Priority Machine Check (HPMC): Code=1 regs=c026d080

I saw in this list, that some people managed to boot linux on "model

Did I miss something ?  Can anybody share kernel for 735 ?

[parisc-linux] More C100 questions

[Greg Ingram]

Hello again,

Well, I bought the C100 and I have a couple of more questions.  Er,
they're not Linux-specific yet, but I'll get there.

1)  Display.  I'd asked earlier (this list and the vendor) if I could
drive an off-the-shelf PC monitor.  Everybody liked my chances, the
connector on the back of the C100 looks like an [S]VGA connector, but it
doesn't seem to drive my fairly studly 17" HP monitor.  The C100's PROM
says this about the display adaptor:

MONITOR INFORMATION

    Slot #        HPA        State    Resolution   Frequency     Class
   ---------   ----------   -------   ----------   ---------   ---------
   graphics0   f8000000     Empty
   graphics3   f4000000     Empty
   graphics4   f6000000     Present   1280x1024    75Hz        VESA
   graphics1   fa000000     Empty

   Current Console Path:       core.SERIAL_1.9600.8.none

   Stable Store Console Path:  GRAPHICS3

The serial console is working fine.  Any suggestions as to the if/how I
can drive a PC monitor with this thing?  Is that 'Stable Store Console
Path' wrong?

2) SCSI.  It came with a two-user version of HP/UX installed on a 2 gig
wide SCSI drive BUT NO MEDIA.  So for the time being I plan to keep HP/UX
on this drive.  Apparently there's about 250 megs that aren't allocated.
Can Linux use an HP/UX partition?  The box has two SCSI connectors on the
back.  One is called a 'single-ended SCSI bus'.  If I had the right cable,
could I run an older SCSI drive?  I've got a 500 meg drive waiting for
something useful to do.

Kind regards,

- Greg

This should be in the FAQ: "Hit Tab key on power up. Keyboard and Display
must connected to respective ports. Firmware will cycle through known
display types. Hit return to select one". This is probably described
in any of the workstation ownwers guides at
	http://docs.hp.com/hpux/hw/index.html

I'm not sure where the FAQ lives these days.
Alex, can you add this?

Can't tell. Need to know what slot your interface card is installed in.
Use "in io" on newer workstations/servers or "info" (?) on older ones
to find out what's installed and the PDC understands.
How to check is worth mentioning the "How do I hook up a Display" FAQ.

No. Only full disk supported until some one writes the LVM support
and also adds it to our boot loader, palo.

Other thing to note when attaching a monitor to an workstation is that
some (old at least the 715/50) workstations have the sync-signal on green,
and no signal(s) on the h-sync and v-sync, which will make newer monitors
go into power-save state...

it hasn't moved, you can add it yourself and it will be on the website
up to an hour later.  linuxcare still haven't responded to my offer
of having it do `pull' updates on demand which would reduce the lag to
typically ~30 seconds between cvs comit and it appearing on the website.

See http://parisc-linux.org/faq.html question 8 - you probably need to
build/wait for a new kernel.
