[parisc-linux] installation on C3000

[Kedarnath Balakrishnan]

Hi,

I am trying to install Debian on HP Visualize C3000. I read the HOW-TO
and managed to make it boot from the ide cdrom drive. The Debian screen
comes up but then it is not able to read any input. Both Keyboard and
mouse are in USB port in my m/c. Is that the problem or is there
something else I am missing??

Thanks,
Balak

I suspect the kernel in debian stable might just be too old.
Can you try newer net-install images from ESIEE?

FWIW, at least three developers are *using* C3000 including myself.
But I've never cold installed using the debian since I've had bits
on this machine since well before any ISOs were available.
Probably would be a good exercise....

hth,
