[parisc-linux] C360 install fails

[parisc-linux] C360 install fails

[Richard Allen]

Im using the 0.9.2 CD.  I have a C360 (512Meg RAM, 9 Gig hard drive) and
I removed the Graphics card from it and hooked it to a serial console.

The machine boots just fine into the installer.  I created that f0 partition,
a small /boot, a swap partition and the remaining disk as /

After that it makes me select a distro (I select sid as the documentation says)
then this hits:

One thing that's wrong there, you need to install the 32 bit kernel and
modules for a C360.  I don't imagine that is the cause of your problem
though.  Although a C360 will run 64 bit, that isn't completely supported
under linux yet.

101fc2b8 T _gsc_readb
101fc2cc T _gsc_readw

101a5118 t serial_in
101a5134 t .L687
101a5160 t .L693
101a5160 t serial_out

So it looks like serial_in() called _gsc_readb(0xffd05805).

On booting, my C360 says

1. Raven U/L2 Dino RS-232 (10) at 0xf2003000, versions 0x6, 0x0, 0x8c, 0x0, 0x0 
3. Raven+ w SE FWSCSI Core RS-232 (10) at 0xffd05000, versions 0x56, 0x0, 0x8c, 0x0, 0x0
...
ttyS00 at iomem 0xffd05800 (irq = 154) is a 16550A 
...

So 0xffd05805 looks like a reasonable address for it to try and access.

Does it crash at the same place if you try again?

BTW, I just tried an install using a 2.4.9 kernel from about September
13th.  And it failed while formatting a 2GB partition:


Superblock backups stored on blocks: 
        32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912

Writing inode tables: done
Writing superbKernel panic: ccio-dma.c: ccio_alloc_range() I/O MMU is out of mapping resources.
In interrupt handler - not syncing
locks and filesystem accounting information: 


Hopefully we'll get a fix for that committed before I roll the next
ISO.

I didnt give up and I tried all kinds og combinations.  I noticed
when I was booting off the CD (for the tenth time I think) that
the install kernel was 32 bit so I opted for that one a I got further.
I actually got so far as it began installing packages, but crashed
at random places in the package installation.

I then loopback mounted the ISO image and NFS exported it and did the
install via NFS and then finally it worked.

Then when I had the system up and running I was adding extra packages
(telnetd, openssl and openssh) when it crashed again.

I now have it in a pretty good state. Ive "apt-get upgrade" every package
and installed all the development environment and compiled yesterdays
kernel snapshot.

bofh:~# uname -a
Linux bofh 2.4.9-pa24 #2 Fri Sep 21 20:40:31 UTC 2001 parisc unknown
bofh:~# uptime
 16:29:35 up 19:10,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Not a single crash since I booted the new kernel so Im very hopeful
that Ive gained some stability.

Now to find an area I can contribute to :)
