[parisc-linux] overuse of tables in new website

[parisc-linux] overuse of tables in new website

[Matthew Wilcox]

n.b.  i'd be happy to report things like this to an individual if anyone
at linuxcare answered email about the website.

the new website uses lots of unnecessary tables.  let's take the header
image as an example, since it was the first i came across.  the original
code looks like this (reformatted to indicate structure):

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td width="10%">
      <table width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 background="&base;/images/pa-masthead-lines.png">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <img src="&base;/images/pa-masthead-lines.png" width="6" height="63" alt="" border="0">
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
    <td align="center" width="80%">
      <map name="masthead">
        <area alt="Hewlett Packard Homepage" coords="5,1,84,62" href="http://www.hp.com">
        <area alt="Linuxcare Homepage" coords="565,10,736,54" href="http://www.linuxcare.com">
      </map>
      <img src="&base;/images/pa-masthead-center-a.gif" width="735" height="63" border="0" usemap="#masthead">
    </td>
    <td width="10%">
      <table width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 background="&base;/images/pa-masthead-lines.png">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <img src="&base;/images/pa-masthead-lines.png" width="6" height="63" alt="" border="0">
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

as far as i an tell using netscape 4.76 on linux, the following looks
identical.

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <img src="&base;/images/pa-masthead-lines.png" width=6 height=63 alt="" border=0>
    </td><td>
      <map name="masthead">
        <area alt="Hewlett Packard Homepage" coords="5,1,84,62" href="http://www.hp.com">
        <area alt="Linuxcare Homepage" coords="565,10,736,54" href="http://www.linuxcare.com">
      </map>
      <img src="&base;/images/pa-masthead-center-a.gif" width=735 height=63 border=0 usemap="#masthead">
    </td><td>
      <img src="&base;/images/pa-masthead-lines.png" width=6 height=63 alt="" border=0>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

there are still things I dislike about this.  for example, it seems
to be using an imagemap unecessarily -- what's wrong with having
<left><hp><centre><linuxcare><right> with ordinary link tags on <hp>
and <linuxcare>?

if the argument is that it'll take longer to download with more images, then
why do we have the separate left and right masthead-lines images?  they complicate
the whole thing, and if they were amalgamated into the image this html could be cut down to:

<map name="masthead">
  <area alt="Hewlett Packard Homepage" coords="11,1,90,62" href="http://www.hp.com">
  <area alt="Linuxcare Homepage" coords="571,10,742,54" href="http://www.linuxcare.com">
</map>
<img src="&base;/images/pa-masthead-center-a.gif" width=747 height=63 border=0 usemap="#masthead">

which would please me by eliminating an awful lot of crap :-)

i have similar complaints about other bits, but i can't be bothered to
look at them closely when i have no idea whether anyone's paying any
attention to what i think.

... I am ... I agree that you are trying to use dynamite to scrape
off the cruft.

Anyone who does not test web pages with lynx and konquerer should be
horsewhipped.

That said, the CVS generation approach is rather nice -- why not
commit your test pages, Matthew, off a new link on the top page "...
for another view" -- If it goes stale, it may be pruned away -- no
harm, no foul.  What say?

[parisc-linux] Apollo 700 serie 9000/720 already problems !

[Christoph Plattner]

Hi PA-RISC hackers !

I already have problems booting my HP apollo 700 serie (Model 720,
with 50MHz, 64MB RAM).
I build a new cross-compiler tool chain plus glibc-2, and already
was perfect. It was the snap shot of the Jan-13-2000. I also build
the kernel + lifimage. First of all I discovered the kernel crash
after or while parallel port init (also mentioned in your list for
the 735 model). So I configured it out, so my kernel continous booting.
The SCSI probing has a problem with the device ID0, a floppy on a
SCSI adapter. Ok, forget it. Then the kernel continous booting.
The kernel does a bootp and gets the answer from the server, then
it successfully mounts the NFS root, but by booting the init or 
any other tool I tried I see the folloing error:

:

Can you give me a short explanation of this dump. 
On the HP I don't know the registers (on intel I do !).
Which describes the instrunction pointer to have a look
in the System.map. Is this IIR ?

The init I tried (the last attempt) was a fresh build `init'
from the init-2.77 package with the cross compiler by setting
the CC= varibale. The build could be done and a check with the
command `file' described the correct image.

What is this for a problem ???

I will add the complete boot log below.

Don't forget. That should respond like a standard SCSI device.
Is the device known to work and the SCSI bus configuration ok?

This is typically a problem with "console" parameter passed to Palo.
(boot loader).  Check the mail archive for comments about CONFIG_STI_CONSOLE
(and CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE) and "console" parameter in
the palo Makefile.

IOAQ. GR02 is the return ptr.
See devresources.hp.com or www.parisc-linux.org for PA 1.1 Arch docs.

You might try downloading and pulling the init from palinux-v0.5.iso.

Re: [parisc-linux] Apollo 700 serie 9000/720 already problems !

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello again !

I have the exactly same problem with the 0.5 image (cd), as I tried
to use this as root file system vie NFS. I got the same error message.
And to boot the CD, the system crashes inside the kernel stuff, 
perhaps in connection with the parallel port.

The SCSI problem is no problem at this point. I want to have
one time a bash, I never got it, although I am experiented in setting
Linux and UNIX boxes, have experiences in the Netboot/Etherboot stuff
and I also installed Linux on a SUN, etc....

Here I seem to have a special problem. Is my machine unable to 
run any code of this.
The other HP is a E55 (9000/856) server, but the multi-port serial
and the SCSI is not supported in the Linux (yet, or forever). So I
cannot boot this machine, as the first serial line of this multi-port
board is the serial console (and the only console of this machine).
So the last kernel message I see is:
	Switching from PDC console

I hope anybody can help here

	Christoph
