[parisc-linux] More Install on C110: Kernel doesn't load...

[Daniel Williams]

OK, I did a quick and dirty port of palo to MacOS X/Darwin and was able 
to run it on the ISO image and modify the boot blocks correctly.

I've got it to boot from the CD, turned out I was burning the CD wrong, 
needed to burn with Track-At-Once with Close CD, rather than simply 
Disc-At-Once in EasyCD Creator on Win2k.

However, when attempting to boot the kernel, I get this:

Entry 00100000 first 00100000 n 4
Segment 0 load 00100000 size 160694 mediaptr 0x1000
Segment 1 load 0028a000 size 468472 mediaptr 0x18a000
Segment 2 load 00300000 size 8192 mediaptr 0x1fd000
Segment 3 load 0034bea8 size 80688 mediaptr 0x1ffea8

Error: read from boot device failed (status = -4)
byteio_read: seekread() returned -1 expected 2048
Error:  segment 0 read() failed

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan

When burning the IA64 boot CD, i was warned to use the 2x (vs 4x) burn
speed. This sounded like hogwash to me but the person was told the disk
burned at 4x may not work well with older/slower CD drives. If someone
could confirm this I'd appreciate it...anyway, the ia64 CD worked fine.

OK, burned the straight download ISO the way that works with EasyCD 
Creator, but it still gives me the same message as last time, in the 
same place as last time.

<snip of seg 0-3 loads>
Error: read from boot device failed( status = -4)
byteio_read: seekread() returned -1 expected 2048
error:  segment 0 read() failed

The CD was burned at 2x and the discs are 4x certified (PNY).  The CD is 
external on the 50 pin narrow bus (core.SCSI.2.0)  However, it does not 
have termination on the external bus.  The internal narrow SCSI devices 
*do* have termination (ie the DDS2 tape drive).  I have switched the CD 
with the DDS2 drive before, but not this time with the new correct 
burn.  Could termination be an issue here and should I try putting the 
CD drive internally with termination?

C110
64Mb x 2
2.1GB FW differential SCSI
DDS2 narrow tape drive
External narrow CD drive
Standard blah blah graphics

Thanks in advance,
Dan

If your external chain is unterminated, then yes, termination could be
an issue. It's not certain, but it's certainly easier to try than
testing another CDROM, right?

Good luck,
