Greetings to all!

I have a K370 here, all reasonable attempts to boot it have failed miserably.
The only thing that boots is the Gentoo 2005 Live CD and I have no clue why :(.

Here is the bootup log.

Main Menu: Enter command or menu > ls

HARD Booted.

PALO(F0) partition contains:

Information: No console specified on kernel command line. This is normal.
PALO will choose the console currently used by firmware (serial).Current command line:
2/vmlinux root=/dev/sda3 console=ttyB0
 0: 2/vmlinux
 1: root=/dev/sda3
 2: console=ttyB0

<#>    edit the numbered field
'b'    boot with this command line
'r'    restore command line
'l'    list dir
? b

Command line for kernel: 'root=/dev/sda3 console=ttyB0 single palo_kernel=2/vmlinux'
Selected kernel: /vmlinux from partition 2

Segment 2 load 00000000 size 0 mediaptr 0x0
Branching to kernel entry point 0x00100100.  If this is the last
message you see, you may need to switch your console.  This is
a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org

Kernel panic - not syncing: Kernel Fault

What happens here is that it sticks at "Mounting Network Filesystems". If I press any key on my Serial console here, then it goes off and panics.

The Debian boot CD's did something similar (freezing, then when I press a key it panics). I have tried most of the Gentoo hppa-sources with no avail, also tried the 2.6.15-rc5-pa5 Kernel from cvs.parisc-linux.org (as seen above).

I'm not sure whats wrong here, and rebooting this beast is a very long process (20 minutes each time).

Does anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to run Linux on this mammoth somehow, but I've tried everything I can think of with no sucssess (except the Gentoo Live CD, but that doesn't really do anything other then let me setup the system and compile a kernel).

Cheers!
Keven Tipping

My first guess was the "HSC-PCI" cards are the root of some new problem...

which are better known as "Card Mode Dino". But I don't think
that's the case since I never saw evidence of tulip getting loaded
nor any problem with configuring LAN.

Note that this LAN driver worked fine. Firmware programs
the MMIO address range for this card.
Any reason why tulip driver didn't get auto-loaded here?

Which I expect to be the LASI NIC.

Which suggests it's a problem with the Mux Driver somehow.
I expect a "login:" prompt to be the next output.

At one point there were issues with MUX driver keyboard input.
Maybe those issues have resurfaced in a new way now.

Start comparing the Gentoo Live CD kernel with the nearest revision
from debian or otherwise that fails.  MUX driver and serial support
in particular.

Greetings to all!

Thanks for your help.

Managed to fix the problem, turns out that /etc/inittab wasn't point to ttyB0. It was pointing to ttyS0 instead.

I'm not sure why that caused the kernel to panic on the first sign of input from the serial console when it hanged (in reality Agetty just hadn't been spawned on the ttyB0 interface), but anyways, the machine seems to be operating properly now as the login pops up right after the last bootup line ("Mounting network filesystems... [OK]").

Thanks!
