[parisc-linux] K100 problem

[parisc-linux] K100 problem

[Steven Pritchard]

I've discovered an unused K100 at my new job.  I was told I could use
it, if I can make it work.  :-)

When I power it up, I get "WARN A008 CPU0" on the LCD.  Anybody have
any idea what that might mean?

Thanks...

Steve

Here's the appropriate entry from the Chassis codes:

WARN  A008  No bootable device found

Apparently the terminal was dead.  I hooked it up to my PC and got
output.  Now I have another problem...  The box outputs to the serial
console, but it doesn't seem to want to take input on the serial
console.  Any ideas what might cause that?

Here's the boot messages:

It does boot into HP-UX, so if I can figure out a way into it over the
network, I can probably reload the box with IgniteUX and just use it
as a HP-UX system, but obviously life would be easier if I could use
the console...

I am not quite sure, but I think you need to set the
Keyboard Path to the same value as Console Path when
you use a serial console (or PC).

I wondered about that...

How can I reset the Keyboard Path without being able to interrupt the
boot sequence though?

Disconnect the primary/secondary boot devices?
If autosearch is on, might have to disconnect all bootable devices.
One should land at the PDC prompt once all paths/search have been tried.
