[parisc-linux] 2.4.20-paxx Config problem (follow-up)

[parisc-linux] 2.4.20-paxx Config problem (follow-up)

[jsoe0708]

Hi all,

The problem I met with arch/parisc/32 on my b2k is due to the CONFIG_SERI=
AL_NONSTANDARD
(or a subselect ??).

Is PDC_console does not work on this model or is there a border effect li=
nk
with this selection?

Can somebody help me to fix it?

Thanks,
    Joel

Joel,

The PDC Console should work for this box as it is really a firmware
console.  The firmware console talks to /dev/ttyB0 instead of
/dev/ttyS0, so that might be your problem?  Also in recent kernels the
major number of /dev/ttyB0 changed from 60 to 11 so make sure the 
device file is correct.

Finally, out of curiosity, why are you trying to use the PDC console? 
The B2k should have a 16550 port (off the suckyio chip???) that should
work for you.

Thanks, and hope this helps!

- Ryan

I though too but seems to cause a problem with pci-ide cdrom?

IMHO it doesn't matter, as mentionned in previous mail, the system hang
very earlier at 'Search devices ...' step and the cdrom green led stay co=
ntiniously
light. Even TOC (I try it to get a piminfo) doesn't work at this stage.
Additionally, on a another b180 the problem doesn't occurs with the same
kernel?

Yes usual serial console works fine for this model.
In fact the first goal was not to test PDC console but it was to test the=

basic config files suggested in arch/parisc/debian-configs (32 bits becau=
se
I test it in parallel on a 180).
AFAIK it is the config used to build install CD and network boot lifimage=
?
So, in case of problem (test corrupting system, disk broken, ...) and for=

the newbies, I would be sure that config is also relevant to (re-)build
_quickly_ a system of this model.

Thanks for your attention and advises (it will be usefull for futur test)=
.

Merry Christmas,
    Joel

PS: For 32 bit release UP release, I also find strange that DEBUG SPINLOC=
K
option was selected and selectable. I was also convinced that it had only=

matter with SMP config?
