Most machines !=3D i386 actually want to have 512-Byte/Sector-capable CD drives. These need to be equipped with appropriate firmware. It's just because that does fit very well to 512 byte blocks from other storage devices (like HDDs:). > Is that a feature unique to CD-RW?

"lifimage" files are also available that one Right. To anybody who's facing non-i386 machines (or even newer i386 machines with net-bootable network cards), I can only suggest to prepare yourself with a bootserver that does everything you need for you. I've configured some old box to do that (that is, you need dhcp/bootp, rarp, tftp, rbootd, NFS and most probably some additional kernel configuration like "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc" and maybe a more limited ip_local_port_range due to SGI firmware bugs...). Netbooting saves lots of time and even eases the task of backing-up your test boxes if they use nfsroot:) MfG, JBG (->going away now to play with his vax...) --=20 Jan-Benedict Glaw jbglaw@lug-owl.de . +49-172-7608481 "Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf | Gegen Zensur | Gegen Krieg fuer einen Freien Staat voll Freier B=FCrger" | im Internet! | im Ira= k! ret =3D do_actions((curr | FREE_SPEECH) & ~(NEW_COPYRIGHT_LAW | DRM | TC= PA)); --OAiy6VLsECigG9dy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/uxxrHb1edYOZ4bsRAtYGAJ9WmNqCnvodK/BRK7yoNztdoJ8EzwCfR/m7 TLv5PhrhcCc+ZZysklH28Vg= =4OJx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OAiy6VLsECigG9dy-- From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: from mailserver3.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de (mailserver3.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de [130.83.126.47]) by dsl2.external.hp.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5E8DA4840 for ; Wed, 19 Nov 2003 00:52:58 -0700 (MST) Received: from hrzpub.tu-darmstadt.de (IP-213157011159.dialin.heagmedianet.de [213.157.11.159]) (authenticated bits=0) by mailserver3.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de (8.12.10/8.12.7) with ESMTP id hAJ7pBcH008109 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=RC4-MD5 bits=128 verify=NO) for ; Wed, 19 Nov 2003 08:52:33 +0100 Message-ID: <3FBB2114.9050003@hrzpub.tu-darmstadt.de> Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 08:51:48 +0100 From: Ruediger Scholz MIME-Version: 1.0 To: parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org Subject: Re: [parisc-linux] Boot-up challenges on a 715/75 References: <1e2.13b31f0d.2cebe9ab@aol.com> In-Reply-To: <1e2.13b31f0d.2cebe9ab@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org Errors-To: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, JjDunnjr@aol.com schrieb: > > I have tried several ways to call up this CD-RW.

Perhaps that why your machine doesn't recognize the scsi address.

I have several risc boxes (SGI O2, Alpha AS500, Dec 5000, Sun SS20s and HPs), all of them use 512bytes/sector. I'm actually not aware of any non-intel platform that uses 2048bytes/sector for SCSI CD-drives. I once ran into the problem that I couldn't boot from CD using an old Sun SPARCstationLX, since the SCSI CD-drive was set to 2048bytes/sector. Most SCSI-CD drives have a switch/jumper to select the default bytes/sector (ie. 512 or 2048). Most 'newer' drives support to be switched to either mode via software. 'Newer' meaning less than 8 years old. However old workstations (like the old SPARCstation I presume) don't support to switch the SCSI-CD-drive to the 512 mode, so you HAVE to set the jumper on the back of the drive. I doubt you'll find any SCSI CD-drives on the market (second hand or new) that are so old that they support only one of these modes. I bought a TEAC CD-writer and a Pioneer CD-drive in a ordinary PC shop about 6 years ago, and they support both modes (and I even couldn't find any that couldn't). They work with all SCSI machines I have. greetings, Max From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: from smtp-out.tiscali.be (spoolo1.tiscali.be [62.235.13.210]) by dsl2.external.hp.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 039714840 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2003 13:22:56 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <3FBE742D.9010507@tiscali.be> Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 20:23:09 +0000 From: Joel Soete MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "M.

Progress to date:
1. Set jumper to 512 k sector on the TEAC.  715/75 recognized it as a d= ifferent model.
2. It spun the disk upon issuing the "bo P2" command, however, i still got t= he
ENTRY_INIT =3D-4 message

I will try to do a net boot next

if that fails, I will try to copy onto the boot 715/75 hard drive the necess= ary files.  Which leads me to my next question, which files(s) would be= necessary for the 715/75 to boot

Would "lifimage" be enough or should i place "rescue.bin", "linux.bin" and "= drivers.gz" on the hard drive

Thanks in advance for your remarkable response.

You will need two hard disks. dd the lifimage you get from ftp.parisc-linux.org onto one harddisk and then boot the parisc machine from that disk. Install on the other disk. It would be useful to check (via the "execute a shell" option) if the CD is readable by the OS. If so, it can be used as an install source. It's possible the CD is still readable but not bootable because the CD burning SW used might have mangled the .ISO data. hth, grant From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: from colo.lackof.org (colo.lackof.org [198.49.126.79]) by dsl2.external.hp.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id D01A04866 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:35:33 -0700 (MST) Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:35:32 -0700 From: Grant Grundler To: JjDunnjr@aol.com Cc: parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org Subject: Re: [parisc-linux] Boot-up challenges on a 715/75 Message-ID: <20031122053532.GC29917@colo.lackof.org> References: <171.26ba943e.2cefd34e@aol.com> <20031122045731.GA29917@colo.lackof.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii In-Reply-To: <20031122045731.GA29917@colo.lackof.org> Sender: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org Errors-To: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: On Fri, Nov 21, 2003 at 09:57:31PM -0700, Grant Grundler wrote: > > 2.

See "Documentation" on www.parisc-linux.org. sorry - it's called "iodc.pdf" on http://www.parisc-linux.org/documentation/index.html -4 Unrecoverable hardware error A hardware error on the module or device prevented the call from completing correctly. CONDITIONAL. Must be used if hardware errors are isolated. Sounds like either a problem with the CD or the CD-ROM drive. grant
