Since the release of PA/Linux v0.9.2, you do not need to worry about
that! You take the smallest if you have a good internet connection that
will help you to transfer the most recent packages or the big one with
all included!

Hi,

     I was trying to install parisc-linux version 9.3 on my B180L machine. I was
     trying this through CD [I burned my CD]. While installing ... I faced following problems , can anybody help :

     1. at the time of Installing kernel and driver modules, it use to give 
	fatal error sometimes [a couple of times it passed too].. 
     2. This one is consistent, while installing the base system, it was always
	failing and use to give dump with error message saying 
	"console.data-........ scsi1:(2:0) Fatal Error : Not MSG_IN after
	selection .. Bus reset detected ..." etc. etc.


	A couple of times it tried to find out floppy drive too [ it is not there]
	and use to give dump when it doesn't find that drive, well, this is 
	while installing rescue.bin only.

	Can anybody tell me why these errors come and how can I solve them...

Regards.
Maneesh

Can you use a serial console, capture the output, and post that here?

Also, please read the errata (link is on the 0.9 release page)

Hello Maneesh,

This sound like a problem I met a time ago: the scsi chain was opened
(ie during test I forgot to reconnect the scsi terminator to my external
drive).

If a scsi terminator is well connected may be could it be defective (or
a one not corresponding to your scsi interface logicaly Single-Ended if
your CD is connected to the narrow single-ended conector)?

Good luck,
	Joel
