[parisc-linux] Booting Debian on an HP C180 workstation

[parisc-linux] Booting Debian on an HP C180 workstation

[Derek Engelhaupt]

Hey all,

This is going to sound like a really stupid question, but here goes. 
I'm a UNIX hardware guy and don't do too much with the software
portion.  I am well versed in the HP boot admin level of the box and
troubleshoot HP hardware.  I have dowloaded the Debian
palinux-0.9.3.iso.gz from http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cd-images/ to my
Win2k PC at home with CD burner.  Here comes the stupid part....how the
hell do I burn it to the CD and get it to boot on my C180?  Looking for
as much detail as possible since I am VERY new to this.  Thanks.

P.S. I know my C180 is fully functional since I used the current
DVD-ROM on it to load HP-UX 11i and it runs that well.

Derek

 - gunzip the image
 - run md5sum and compare the result with the published value to make sure
    the image is ok
 - use your cd burner to burn the "raw" image. You may need to play with the
    options to get it right. You're trying to get the software to just burn
    the image *as is* without messing with it. Some software tries to be 
smart
    and "help" you by messing with the filesystem or the bootable frontend
    part. You don't want that so turn it off.
 - Load the burned cd in the c180
 - From firmware "sea"rch for bootable devices. If you burned the cd right
    it should show up.
 - boot from the cd, install debian, have a nice $BEVERAGE

0.9.3 is rather dated now, so Debian 3.0 is a better choice.  You'll see
www.parisc-linux.org has been updated in the last day.  Debian 3.0 ISOs
have a 2.4.17-pa32 kernel, so there may be machines where a newer kernel
would be better.  In that case, you could look in
<ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cd-images/testing/auto-isos/> where you'll
find some unofficial, lightly tested, smaller (70MB) images with recent
kernels.

Should people still be using 0.9.3 or should they rather use Debian 3.0
CDs?

If by that you mean a 600MB (or similar) image, I'm not sure there is
any point; Debian 3.0 CD1 is effectively that.

Any plans to put together an official full iso, a 0.9.4 perhaps?

Hi All,

So I finally had a chance to install Debian 3.0 on my C180XP. So far looks
great, install was
far easier than the 0.9.3 CD, and I'm not seeing any of the file system
corruptions. However,
I'm still fighting a couple of battles.

1) where do you find the keywords to packages to install with apt-get
install <some package>?
   ie apt-get install xfree86  doesn't seem to work. I'd like to get the ftp
and telnet daemons
   working so I can ftp and telnet into my box, as well as X window system.

2) I'm still having trouble getting to system to boot with the monitor. The
boot sequence stops
   at "If this is the last message you see..." even tho the monitor flash a
couple of times.
   I have attached a log of the boot sequence when booting with a serial
console if that shows
   something helpful.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean Anaya

use debian-hppa@lists.debian.org instead.

[parisc-linux] Help! eth0 has disappeared on C200?

[B. Douglas Hilton]

I'm not sure what happened, but my C200 is
no longer detecting any of its network
interfaces. They did work before as I
installed Debian using the 10/100 port.

Any ideas what is going on here or what
I can do to remedy this?

[parisc-linux] Update Re: Help! eth0 has disappeared on C200?

Configuration Menu: Enter Command > lc auto

No LAN device.

I think my battery is going dead, could this
be part of the problem? Has the tulip lost
is flash? Is my firmware corrupted? Is there
any hope of restoring the LAN? I'm worried...


Thanks,
