Need to know which model parisc box you have and which model CD ROM.

ok. This sounds like a known problem with the Debian 3.0r0
install CDs. Did a Debian 3.0r1 installer ever get made?

If not, the alternative is to try the more recent net-install ISOs.
"net install" just means the system has to have access to a Debian
mirror via LAN. Still need to burn and boot from CD.

URLs to "net install ISOs" are on the www.parisc-linux.org web page.

hth,

The link points to:
	ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cd-images/testing/auto-isos/

But newer images (2.4.21-pa9 kernel based) are on:
	http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/testing/

is the "rsync" broken?
Can someone from ESIEE fix that?
(not urgent)

thanks,

There is no "rsync"... I have to do it by hand and that's getting me
pretty bored, so I guess this would have to be scripted at some point. If
any master on dsl2 has any idea about how to do it i'd owe him a beer :P

BTW, i'll upload last image (-pa13 iirc) on both pateam and dsl2 as soon
as i'll get my lab powered back (upon tomorrow if everything goes fine).

You have right, the pb is well known and afaik not yet resolved: it seems
that pdc console and ide cdrom are not compatible (so have to install via
net-install or an external scsi drive if you have an additional scsi card.
then build your own kernel to access ide-cdrom). The system boot but early
hang on cd initialisation (the green led lighted continiously)

Excepted this detail, the b2k is a very interesting model with cpu PA8600
400Mhz :) and run kernel as well 32bits as 64bits :))
