Zick 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Marios K. @ 2005-02-24 9:57 UTC (permalink / raw) To: parisc_ I have an old HP Model 612 with 64MB Ram, 1 Seagete scsi hard disk. I manage to find a scsi cdrom, so i tried to install debian. The scsi cable had the capability to install only one disk, so i found another one with possibility of connecting the hard disk and the cdrom. I connected the hard disk on the "middle" connector of the cable and put the scsi id at 2.0 I connected the the cdrom on the "outer" connector and put the scsi id as 4.0 Booting in BOOT_ADMIN> and writing search The boot loader found them both. Seagete SCSI.2.0 Pioneer SCSI.4.0 Ok then, i write boot scsi.4.0 And the installation begins, After linux kernel loader, i see the it has found both cdrom and hard disk with the scsi id correct. I choose language-keyboard. I configure network (although it is not connected to the network for the moment), but when it comes to partition the disk it says NO HARD DISK FOUND. CONFIGURE NETWORK FOR NFS MOUNT something.... Why the installer can't see the hard disk, while in boot time it sees it? The hard disk contains an HPUX OS. P.S. I apologize if this issue has already answered, but i couldn't find nothing on the net. I would appreciate if you cc me. -- Marios K. <marios_hellas_23@yahoo.gr> _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

(-- Could by I have those reversed -- Might be pri=5, sec=6 ) Try setting your scsi id numbers, disk=6, cdrom=5. ( Or the reverse of that ) OR Configure your network, and net-boot the machine. You can find directions on the site for doing that. Note: With 64M of ram, be sure to allow a generous swap partition when you partition your disk drive.

If you could provide a little more information I haven't used the new Debian installer, but the following should work - it is typical of Linux installs. 1) Boot from your cd. 2) If this gives you a choice of kernels, just 'enter' for the default. 3) The installation process will display its first set of questions as soon as the selected kernel boots. 4) You are now running Linux, only from the cdrom and a ramdisk. 5) Installers normally have multiple consoles enabled... the keystrokes: 'Alt-Fx' for (usually) F1-F5 will switch to the other consoles. (Alt-F7 is the console with X on it if that is running.) 6) Switch out of the installer's console into one of the others. 7) You may have to login - not sure about this installer. 8) Linux is similar to HP-UX (any *nix) you should have most of the commands available that you are used too. 9) try: mount To get an idea where things are mounted 10) find where: /var/log/dmesg is located. Find some way to post it on the list. If you have the machine networked to something else, you should be able to 'scp' the file to the other machine (if the other machine is running sshd and the network interface is up).

UFS works for HPUX disks the last time I tried it a few years ago. But, HPUX LVM is incompatible with linux LVM. Ie the HPUX "HFS" (aka UFS) must be "whole disk". grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
