#1) I successfully installed 0.9.3 on a C240!!!
#2) it works if I use the serial console.  Absolutely no problems... Was
able to use dselect after install to install graphical environment (x11,
gnome, and kde)
#3) I want to use a graphical console (my color monitor) that does
support the following resolutions 1280 x 1024 @ 72 , 1280 x 1024 @ 75,
and 1024 x 768 @ 72.
#4) if disconnect the serial connection, plug in the ps2 mouse and ps2
keyboard and the monitor to the graphics card (system detects Console
path: Graphics(4))
#5) the system gets as far as:
Branching to kernel entry point 0x00100000.  If this is the last
message you see, you may need to switch your console.  This is
a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org

A) the FAQ is short and I can't find any reference. I have read it
several time. either it's not there or I'm blind
B) I tried searching the lists on parisc-linux.org but the search
feature doesn't return any hits for "0x00100000" or "switch your
console"
C) I manually searched over 1 years' worth of archives but didn't find
an answer

?) Does 0.9.3 support the graphics card on a c240? Or only serial?
?) If only serial, how do you get a gui environment like gnome of kde to
interact with this version of linux?
?) am I just clueless?

Thanks for any and all feedback...

Thanks for the reply... Following is the entire dmsg... 
I notice it twice says "I'm not trying to set up your PCI graphics card
now... It would freeze your machine."

Hi Edward,

You maybe should have mentioned the name of the graphic card in 
your machine.
Boot up in serial-console mode and give us the inventory listing (or the
whole
dmesg) which the pa-kernel prints right at the beginning.

Greetings,
Helge

Hi Edward,

Hmm, I think we forgot to backport the stifb-PCI hack :-(

The reson behind this "I'm not trying to set up the PCI graphic 
card now... It would freeze your machine" message is, that
during the initialisation of the A4977A Visualize EG PCI card 
(which is often found in c3000 workstations) my machine
completely freezes.

Since you have another PCI card you should try a recent kernel 
from CVS which explicitly checks for this combination of c3000 and 
Visualize EG combo and avoids to initialize it. For all other 
combinations of workstations and graphic cards this check isn't 
done and the graphic card will be initialized.
(PS: This should be added to the 0.9.3 FAQ!)

i consider myself a newbie (but i'm willing to learn), so please cut me some
slack, but building the kernel didn't work for me.

this is what i did:
su
cd
mkdir source
ftp ftp.parisc-linux.org
user: anonymous
password: edward@alfert.com
cd cvs
get linux-latest.tar.gz     (also tried linux-2.4.16-pa19.tar.gz)
get palo-latest.tar.gz
quit

cd source

zcat linux-latest.tar.gz | tar -xf -    (nothing gets extracted)
zcat linux-2.4.16-pa19.tar.gz | tar -xv -    (nothing gets extracted)
zcat palo-latest.tar.gz | tar -xf -  (tons of files are extracted into palo
folder)

gunzip *
tar -tvf linux-latest.tar   (no files are listed)
tar -tvf linux-2.4.16-pa19.tar.gz   (no files are listed)
tar -tvf palo-latest.tar.gz   (tons of files are listed)

Why is the linux* files empty?  did i do something wrong?

Sure it wasn't due to /var filling up last night?

I'm almost done adding a note about that now.
Please review later today when the official website
has been updated.

thanks!

ok...was able to follow all the steps in creating the new kernel including
make oldconfig
make dep
make palo

now what? (this is where the Building the Kernel FAQ ends)

So from this point forward i'm guessing (trial and error)...

I rebooted and it still booted to the old kernel 2.4.9

i then manually moved /root/source/palo/lifimage to
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.16-pa19
then created link to it from vmlinux

I then rebooted and i get:
Opening /vmlinux
Opening /vmlinux-2.4.16-pa19
Couldn't grok your kernel executable format
ERROR: failed to load kernel

Now i know i shouldn't have manually moved the files over and there was a
correct way of doing this... but i looked in all docs i could find and can't
find the right way to move a new kernel into place from the new created
palo/lifimage

1) what is the right way?
2) how do i recover? do i interrup the boot process... interact with IPL and
pass some parameter to boot from the old kernel (that i left behind at
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.9)?

Thanks for all the previous help... i'm close but yet so far....

Exactly what I had happen. Someone was nice enough to point out to me the
*right* way <g>...

In your linux root (with the Makefile) is vmlinux. Move that to
/boot/vmlinux-xxx, then edit palo.conf (second line has the kernel you're
wanting to boot by default). Then, run palo (gives you a two-line 'before'
and 'after' which should show the new kernel) and reboot.

Don't think there's any way other than manual - 'make install' isn't
working yet AFAIK.

Recover by using 'boot pri ipl' at the initial boto menu, then change your
kernel name to the last one you used.

Thanks... This is fun... 

New kernel 2.4.19 is up and running... I'm able to use my monitor ...
Initially I couldn't log in but found in the FAQ that I needed to
"uncomment" tty0 from /etc/inittab ... By the way, there is no entry for
tty0 in /etc/inittab, so I created one... So the FAQ shouldn't read
"uncomment" but instead "create".

I'm now trying to get Xfree working... I know I ask a lot of questions,
but I promise to return the favor to other newbies that experience the
same problems as me.

I executed /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config and set all the parameters for the
mouse, monitor, and graphics card... But it doesn't work... The screen
goes black (as if it was changing resolutions) then comes back to text
mode and dumps the messages.

I have included the contents of /var/log/XFree86.0.log in hopes that one
of you will guide me in the right direction...

The system is a C240 with FX4 video card (that's HP Visualize FX-4 with
18mb RAM) ... The GRAPHICS(4) is set to 1280 x 1024 @ 72Hz.

I punt. Met my web site hacking quota for the day...some substantial
updates to the 0.9.3 errata:
	http://www.parisc-linux.org/release-0.9/errata-093.html

(You do want to know how to avoid file corruption right?)

I don't think FX-4 is supported yet. Helger Deller or Thomas Bogendoerf
should be able to confirm in a few hours if no one else can.
Looks like we could use a seperate table for unsupported IO devices
and supported gfx on:

Ok... So I'm experimenting with leaving the fx4 for booting and
interacting in text mode (/dev/tty0) and then I installed a PCI voodoo 3
in graphics pci slot number 1.   the fx4 is in slot 4.

I reran /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config and entered the new information.

When executing startx, it probes the hardware and sees both the FX4
(which it doesn't know what it is), and it also sees the Voodoo 3 which
it identifies correctly.

But it still fails to start the server.  Same error messages:
       (EE) No devices detected.
       Fatal server error:
       no screens found

Any ideas if this is possible.. Have 2 video cards and use the supported
one for gui?

Oh I'm glad that's fixed :)  I was seeing fs corruption on a
D270 with an NCR53c720 and wasn't sure if it was the hardware or
the kernel or something stupid I had done :)
