Grabert" MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "parisc-linux@thepuffingroup.com" Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: [parisc-linux] some questions ... List-ID: hi all, I want to test linux/HPPA. I have one HP9000/800/F10 (16MB RAM), but it has unfortunately no gfx and no network interface card. Now I also got a HP9000/730 (32MB RAM, CRX-Graphics) with an integrated network interface card. Since I want/have to mount the (linux-)boot partition via nfs, I can only use the "King Cobra" HP9000/730. But as I wanted to test the network card, I recognized that it does not work properly; but I don't now wether it is my fault or not ... I'm using HP/UX 10.10 (I know that this mailing list is for linux/HPPA, but since I can't use the network, I don't know if I can use the machine for linux/HPPA testing) and configured a 192.168.0.0 net (class C). The workstation is connected via BNC, but I seems that there is no link. (ping was hanging, and when i used "arp -s", ping said that there is some probably some link/carrier problem) And the light on my hub is not blinking, either. The same routing table (just loopback, no default gateway) is working for my XTerminal (RX700) and my linux/ix86 computers. Perhaps the computer was connected via AUI before, and I don't know how to change between AUI/BNC. Is there a dip switch/jumper/software configuration thing ? I didn't see anything in "SAM", but perhaps there is something for the CLI ? I configured the network interface to use Ethernet Frames, (other possible configuration is IEEE803.2/Ethernet and IEEE803.2). Is this the possible source of error ? is there something I have to be aware of when testing linux/HPPA ? Is it just getting the linux-kernel, booting it and mount the rest via nfs ? thanks in advance, max
