[parisc-linux] Troubles with console on HP9000 rp3440

[Dimitar Atanasov]

Hello Pa-Risc!
I try to install linux on HP 9000 rp 3440. I connect to console over null
modem cable, and I start the install from the boot cd. But I lost the
output. The installation says that the output is on ttyS0 but I can't find
it. I search all com ports and other consoles but I didn't see anything
anywhere.
Please help if you have any ideas.
I have read the manual but I have no such things on my console commands, or
may be I didn't understand the procedure.



Regards,
Dimitar Atanasov
NEK EAD.

Support for pa8800 machines isn't fully functional yet.
"make -j2" segfaults withing a minute or so. I haven't tried
again recently.
Unless you intend on debugging TLB/Cache probles, it's best
to stick with HPUX for now.

Which boot cd? Where did it come from?

The only installer that has a chance of working is if
debian-installer uses a recent 2.6 kernel (since May, 2004) *or* has
the pa8800/ZX1 chipset support backported to 2.4 kernel.
