[parisc-linux] UNable to boot the cd.

[parisc-linux] UNable to boot the cd.

[AYAZ, MOHAMMED ASIF]

Hello .=20
I have downloaded  the  iso images   from =
ftp.de.debian.org/debian-cd/3.0_r0/hppa  and made a bootable cd of the =
image.. All I  did  is to search for ipl from the PDC main menu. but it =
doesnt show the cdrom as an ipl device.=20

Another thing I have obeserved is  I found the file ipl in one of the =
install directory. I wonder if this is the process of creating a =
bootable cd.=20

Can you please help me to make the box bootable. I'm testing this on a A =
class server !!=20

I have gone through the PA-RISC-Linux-Boot-HOWTO.html  as well !!=20

Can you elaborate (give precise steps) on how you accomplished this?
The ISO images are "raw" files. ie burn them bit-for-bit to the CD.
On a linux box, use
	cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -data debian-30r0-hppa-binary-1.iso

where "0,0,0" matches the output from "cdrecord -scanbus".

It will show up. If you absolutely can't get this work,
start thinking about doing a bootp/net install.

Which one? A180 or A500?
It doesn't really matter since palo is "smart" and will pick
the right kernel (32 vs 64 bit). I'm just curious.

The ISO images are "raw" files. ie burn them bit-for-bit to the CD.
On a linux box, use
	cdrecord -v dev=3D0,0,0 -data debian-30r0-hppa-binary-1.iso

where "0,0,0" matches the output from "cdrecord -scanbus".

Ok (I used successfully the same from same site recently :) )

I know well it as an OS is it also the name of your burning tool?
If not could you give its name and release (iirc some tools wasn't able to
do before a given release)

>o I did Search ipl from teh main menu itdid'nt  show the cdrom as an ipl
device.

severall pb are possible: 
* the most common one is that the cd was not burn with correct options (see
your cd burning tool user guide)
* your image file could be corrupted (iirc there was also a md5sums file
which allow you to check the integrity of this image) 
* the type of the cdrom drive you used to boot (is it a hp buildin?) couldn't
allow you to boot. Could boot with an hpux install CD?

Try reading documentation about "Winxp" and whatever CD SW it comes with.
I would guess it has "Easy CD Creator". Look for "raw mode" or something
like that in the documentation or help files.

IIRC, instructions on how to burn parisc CD's with CD Creator have
been posted to parisc-linux (or debian-hppa) before.

BTW, A500-44 definitely works as I have several running parisc-linux.

It seems to me normal as far as we have to make cd bootable which is iirc
not purely iso std ;)

Doesn't matter as far as you have to burn a raw image; it should also works
with
a raw image build with more then excellent Ignite to build a custom hpux
install cd ;)

For me that exclude cdrom driver pb ;)

And seems also that CD Creator can also write raw image by this method (I
have unfortunately no experience with this tool but I can check if cdrecord
exits for NT systems?).
So the last pb I can see is a pb of image corruption (during file transfer):

could you check the md5sum of your file
(if you don't have other linux box to do, on your XP you could install it
eg. with cygwin tools with <http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe> ;)


Cheers,
    Joel
