Yes. Want one ?

I used xc tools from palinux-0.5 on x86 linux (Slackware 3.6 + glibc).
Kernel was built satisfactory (despite a lot of warnings about
incompatible
argument types (as far as i remember)). Booting went ok.

activate CONFIG_STI and use `console=tty0' instead of `console=ttyS0'.
this should be done for you automatically by palo when you set CONFIG_STI.

Do You mean CONFIG_STI_CONSOLE ? I have it, and CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE
too.
Palo also sets console=tty0 .  Booting goes till "Switching from PDC
console"
and then welcome message from palinux cdrom appears on serial link.

then that's a bug.  i shan't be able to fix it until i have access to an
STI-capable machine, which is a few weeks away yet.

[parisc-linux] C100 Boots! Really! Got a shell!

[Greg Ingram]

Gentlemen,

In a previous post I reported that telnet was answering but I got a
'permission denied' error and never saw a login prompt.  I suspected that
the root file system was never being remounted as read-write.  After
appending 'rw' to the kernel command line I'm able to login via
telnet.  Woohoo!  I'm using the nfsroot tarball from the FTP site.  Might
there be a problem in it such that / isn't properly remounted?

Some other things:

Trying STI for the console didn't work.  I eventually enabled the console
on the line printer (no printer connected though) and disabled the console
on the serial port.  I stop getting messages on the serial port at:

	Set default PSW W bit to 0

but the boot continues.

Also, I find this in dmesg output:

Try to enable just one of both: CONFIG_STI_CONSOLE _or_ CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE

 I tried it and got following behavior:

  While kernel starts/initializes screen stays black. When it suddenly fills with
scattered characters (I could
read few words on screen: TCP, UDP RARP, Init and even something, that looks like
Welcome).

[parisc-linux] C100 Bus Errors

[Greg Ingram]

Howdy,

I've got the nfsroot tarball copied onto a hard disk now and I'm beginning
to play around some more.  Unfortunately, some of the first programs I
tried (make and tar) died with a simple 'Bus error' message.  What does a
bus error really mean?  Is it a problem with the kernel support for my
hardware?

Regards,

- Greg

I've seen it mean an unaligned data reference trap (in user space).
But I'm not sure that's the case here.

very unlikely.

That what it is, alright.  It generates a register dump.  Anything I can
do about it?
