Hi, I have a HP Visualize C3000 and i'm trying to install Debian HPPA on it... and every time i try to install the base system, whether it be from CD or http, i get the message of "slang(version_here).deb is corrupt. could not download"

is there any way around this? since my machine hasn't got HPUX on it, and i cant find anywhere to download it :|

cheers, matt :)

IIRC, the c3k require a more recent kernel and what could help is a recent net-install iso cd available at:
<http://www.pateam.org/cd-images/testing/>

and this install would work via a serial console (simply unplug kdb amd mouse and pdc will swicth automaticaly to this serial 
console).

ok, i went and got the latest testing iso, but now it's saying that libc6_2.2.5-6_hppa.deb was corrupt and cannot download...

 thats cd no.2 coastered and another 70mb down... any tips?

the orginal problem was from both a cd i got with the computer (an earlier 70mb d/l it seems) and the latest full 650mb iso i downloaded...

though if i try and boot from the big iso, the installer starts then the keyboard wont work... getting frustrated :|

Full net install? (net boot with NFS root to run the installer?)

current lifimages are also available that match the net install ISOs.
lifimage needs to be served from a bootp server.

Is the keyboard hanging using a serial or graphics console?

In general, the serial console is more stable and I suggest installing
via the serial console. Disconnect the USB keyboard and connect a DB9
serial cable to another linux box (9600, 8N1).  Once installed, upgrade
to a 2.4.23 kernel (available from ftp.p-l.o/kernels/c3000) and then
reconnect the keyboard before rebooting.

no, i burnt the 70mb netinstall iso to a cd and booted off that.. i don't actually have another linux box i can use as a nfs server, and i dont have a serial cable..

with the full 650mb cd, when i boot it hangs when i get to the colour "welcome to debian... <continue>" screen

I'm using graphics console for all of this...

cheers, matt

  Hmm what kind of other system/os is it available for you near the c3000?

  afaik the serial connection doesn't have to be a linux box: an actual serail console (setup to emulate vt100), a nt system with 
  'hyperterminal' vt100 emulation would also works, as well as another unix system with a prgm allowing you to emulate a vt100 
  terminalon a serial port.

  Do you have the oportunity to do the serial cable yourself? If you have to buy one (cheap but always usefull), it is a null-modem 
  cable (femel 9 pin for the c3000).

  hth,
  joel

Not "via". Use serial cable to get a working serial console.
Use the 70MB iso you already have and try again to install.

Disconnect the USB keyboard, and cycle power on the C3000.
When it comes up, PDC (firmware) should be talking to the
Serial Port 1 by default.

BTW, which 70MB ISO did you grab?
Can you post the complete URL?

Matt,
that should be sufficient to do an install.


Thibaut/ESIEE,
Any chance someone could roll ISOs which uses 2.4.23+memremap+rtc fixes?
lamont is building a new 2.4.23 debian kernel you could use.

and I noticed:
	You are now connected to:
	Linux greg 2.4.18-pa45 #3 Mon Jul 1 10:45:09 CEST 2002 parisc GNU/Linux 

2.4.18 has lots of security holes.
I suggest you guys update those systems before bad things happen.

thanks,
grant
