[parisc-linux] E25 lock-up during boot.

[parisc-linux] E25 lock-up during boot.

[Scott Eggert]

I am attempting to ge PA installed on a HP9000 E25.  I am able to boot from the
0.5 CD image, however it locks-up during the boot.  Any ideas?

Here is the boot output:

Main Menu: Enter command or menu > bo 56/52.4
Interact with IPL (Y or N)?> n

Which part of `E class is not supported' is hard to understand?  :-)

Having said that, I bet this is the same problem as FAQ 9:

I'm booting parisc linux on an early Series 700 workstation, and the 
machine hangs after printing:

ASP version 1 at ..... found

What's going on?

This was a bug in the parallel port driver, which was fixed in CVS on 
2000-11-29. You can workaround the problem by using a newer kernel or
by reconfiguring your kernel and removing support for the parallel port
(CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC).


But... there's no Lasi in an E-class.  Something's wrong with our detection
routines, perhaps.  I admit to being curious about the `Core Lan' that's
reported -- maybe it'll work.

The FAQ is wrong at this point.
You will need a kernel which is newer than 2001-02-16 
(http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2001-February/028548.html)
Maybe I should fix the FAQ again ASAP :-)

How to replace the kernel by a newer in a bootable ISO file ?

you'll need another linux machine around for this, but:

edit /etc/exports to export /tftpboot to your PA box
mount the cd inside /tftpboot
create a symlink from the cd to the ip address of the machine
	(eg ln -s cd 192.168.2.56)
set up bootp/tftp or rbootd (depending on the age of your machine)

et voila.
