Hi,

I've just build 2.4.19-pa2 on my c3600 and then I ran palo * I've updated to 1.1 * afterwards, after booting I got an error reporting:

ENTRY_INIT failed, status = -7: Nonexistent device

>>Some Hex Entries<<

Failed to initialize

What is this... did I do something wrong?

Yes. Possibly specifying the wrong device.

To quote HP IT Resources:
The device address supplied to ENTRY_INIT is valid, but, 
the target controller or device is not installed or is not responding
ENTRY_INIT -7 Causes:
- Booting from the wrong path or non-existent device.
- Trying to boot from a device that is not responding.

Stop the machine at bootup and try to search for bootable
devices... and see what it returns.

ok, well i got the PALO to start however it now crashes with the following
error:

Couldn't grok your kernel executable formatERROR: failed to load kernel.

What does this mean?

Re: [parisc-linux] palo issues

[Alex Green]

ok the file was build using make bzImage... surely this would produce a
proper image..... or not?

Re: [parisc-linux] palo issues

[Alex Green]

I ran file against my new kernel and the output is the same as the currently
booting kernel.

I was decidedly wrong. While 'make bzImage' will produce the
right vmlinux for you to use... you cannot use the actual bzImage
because we don't support compressed kernel images in palo.

Using the vmlinux in /usr/src/linux (or where your tree is) will
get you to the right place :)

Re: [parisc-linux] palo issues

[Alex Green]

I've rebuilt using make vmlinux, to remove all options for the wrong image
being built, however, even after reloading palo, it still has the same
error.

I'm now going back to look at the kernel build to check if I can anything
there.

Yep I copied to /boot/vmlinux-64

nope I built it with 64bit gcc, as I wanted a 64bit kernel, so the file is
ELF64 :).

Does this shed any light ??

In your case (thanks for all the info!) palo is being asked to load the
kernel from partition 4.

> --commandline=4/boot/vmlinux-64 root=/dev/sda4 HOME=/

Partition 4 is _NOT_ contained within the first 2G.

Sorry my question wasn't clearer.  Perhaps you can turn sda2 or 3 into
a /boot partition, or something more drastic...

Or you could set --commandline=0/vmlinux and have palo copy the
kernel into f0. Though you'll need to do this for every new kernel
you want to use. Very much like a normal lilo setup on x86. Though
if you muck it up... you can't recover.
