[parisc-linux] Tried to Install Debian 3r1 on C110, C180 and 2 712/60, no luck.

[Adam Skaffloth]

Hi !

I wonder if someone could give me a help in the right direction.
I have a C110, a C180 and 2 712/60.
C110 would boot fine until you get to the first menu, then the keyboard
would be out.
I have tried the previous tricks about disconnect/reconnect the keyboard,
but to no use.
The Visualize-EG in C180 seems not be working, seen threads about that,
so installed the Visualize-24 card from the C110 on the C180 and get the
same result.
Is this problem only related to the install or if I install using serial
console would it be a head-less machine = no use ?

I also read that their are no trouble with installing on 712/60.
I got 2, one with the second LAN/Serial Card (So I can use it as a FW).
Bot are starting but are hanging after the message:

The Installation Program is determining the current state
of your system and the next installation step that should
 be performed.

It hangs there forever on both boxes.

Anyone succeded with a install of Debian 3 on the above HW that could give
me a hand,
I am giving PA Risc a chance until I need to put the Sparc and the Intel
back into the plans.

/ Adam

IIRC, Visualize-EG should be working with STIfb driver.

We have that conf as well, and installed it without any problem.

That's definitely not normal.
How much RAM does these boxes have ?
We noticed that bellow 32MB of RAM, the installer may 'Defunct' during the install process. In that case you would have to install the HD into another box, prepare it and install the software on it, and plug it back into the 712, see the PA-RISC/Linux Boot HOWTO for details (http://pateam.esiee.fr/doc.html)

Hi Adam,

no kidding, I am/have been running it on a C110, C180 and 712.... ;-) 
Although the 712 is a /80 not a /60, and that was before the official 
woody release. But the C110 and C180 were both installed from the same 
release CD. No problems with either one, but the C180 does have a 
visualize in it, the build in EG is not supported.

Regarding the keyboard disconnect/reconnect - that would only be needed 
for HIL keyboards, AFAIK. I used whatever PS/2 keyboard and mouse I had 
sitting around and that worked.

Correction : the EG does show up as a fb device, and the correct spelling
would have been "built" in this case... ;-)

RE: [parisc-linux] Tried to Install Debian 3r1 on C110, C180 and 2 712/60, no luck.

[Adam Skaffloth]

Did you install it from the woody iso ?
My install are from the iso image.
Or did you use netinstall ?

The C180 has 768MB Ram, the C110 has 512MB.
The 712s has 64MB and 80MB.

All above machines was running HP-UX 10.20 or 11.00 before I tried to
install,
or still is as nothing has been installed yet.
So I know they are working.

I need to know if this is a installer problem in woody iso.
I have seen that a lot of people have got these machines installed and
working,
but did they use a previous version or did they use netinstalls ?

I am also confused that there are reference to some problems with different
PS/2
keyboards. I used original HP Workstation Keyboard and mouse and still got
the problem with
the C110 and C180.

most unlikely.
I'd suspect a problem with you CD. Have you checked checksums and tried with another CD?

any ps/2 keyboard/mouse *should* work.

RE: [parisc-linux] Tried to Install Debian 3r1 on C110, C180 and 2 712/60, no luck.

[Adam Skaffloth]

I downloaded the iso images from
ftp://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/debian-cd/3.0_r0/hppa/
I went back to check for the MD5 Checksums.
They did not compare, but then I saw that the MD5SUM file was referencing
i386 disks,
under the hppa directory :)

I then tried jigdo download, it could find the first segment that are under
above server,
but could after that not find any other, dead end.

Under ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cd-images/testing/auto-isos/
are a lot of test netinstalls,
Is there any of them that are corresponfing to 3.0r0 ?
Should I download the .iso image or is the lifimage to prefer ?

Where do I find netinstall for woody ?

the 3.0r0 ISO on pateam.esiee.fr has its checksum displayed on the website.

They all come from pateam.esiee.fr as well, and all feature the newest kernels and boot-floppies available, and are based on woody, so they would indeed correspond to 3.0r0.

The lifimages are only netbootable kernel images.

You would probably need the ISO to help a netinstal procedure.

[Adam Skaffloth]

I tried the latest one, but that are not able to configure the kernel
modules,
Message is:

depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/2.4.20-32/modules.dep for writing.

As the netboot seems to work but not the full iso images.
Can you guide me to a know working netboot iso that I can use ?

sorry - I thought I corrected that a while ago.
I guess I missed it on that server.
Let me post proper MD5 sums.
