[parisc-linux] Installation success on C200

[Jakob Sandgren]

Hi,

I would just like to report that we have installed the 0.9.1 distro on
a C200 without any problems at all! It defaulted to the 32bit kernel,
we will try to build a new kernel with 64 bit support.

Great work with the distribution!! 

Some minor(?) bugs discovered so far:
* After the reboot during the last stage of installation we got a
  corrupted filesystem and some files ended up in lost+found.
* cat /proc/interupts gives an oops and hangs the system
* cat /dev/dsp gives an oops and hangs the system

A question;
during boot the firmware complains about that the memory is not
installed for "optimal performance". Do anyone know what to do about
this?


Let me know if someone would like to use this machine for autobuiling
etc, it has 512MB RAM and a good access to the Internet. 

/Jakob

that's a bug I already found and I have a not quite correct fix for it.
All systems with dinos are affected. I'll check in the fix later.

The owners guide or install guide will tell exactly how to do that.
Anyone have such a guide for C200?

Typically one should install the biggest SIMMs in the lowest numbered
slots. Some models want them installed in pairs of the same size.

Jacob and Grant,

The Slots are numbers as follows (according to the Owners Guide):

0A
4A
0B
4B
2A
5A
2B
5B
<space>
<space>
3A
1A
3B
1B

Rear of Main Tray


The C200 takes 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, or 128MB and must be intalled 
in pairs.  Always install the largest capacity memory modules 
in the lowest numbered memory slots.

Hope this helps.

- Ryan
