I have been asked to install linux on a few HP 700 machines. I was recommended to try a 705 machine first as it had a CDROM and reportedly worked well. It has 32 MB of RAM, hard disk size unknown. It boots into the CDE login screen without any problems, as far as I can tell. We don't know the root password, or usernames and their passwords. I downloaded the palinux-0.6.1-32STI.iso.gz file from ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/cd-images and burned it to CD. I then tryed booting this CD from the CDROM on the 705 machine. It seemed to access the CDROM for a few seconds then die. This is the output sent to the monitor Trying scsi.2.0 Boot path initialised Attempting to load IPL Hard booted palo ipl debackex@pc5158a Wed Apr 11 17:56:43 CEST 2001 0/vmlinux 2652553 bytes @ 0xafa800 0/palo-cmdline '0/vmlinux ROOT=/ TERM=linux root=/dev/scd0 console=tty ramdisk=8192' kernel: partition 0 file /vmlinux ELF32 executable Entry 00100000 first 00100000 n 5 Sement 0 load 00100000 size 1533364 mediaptr 0x1000 Sement 1 load 00278000 size 202856 mediaptr 0x178000 Sement 2 load 002ac000 size 21904 mediaptr 0x1aa000 Sement 3 load 002e4000 size 8192 mediaptr 0x1e0000 Sement 4 load 00326aa8 size 76560 mediaptr 0x1e2aa8 ERROR: Read from boot device failed (status = -4). byteio_read: seekread() returned -1 expected 2048 ERROR: Segment 0 read() failed Fatal error loading kernel ex failed to load kernel
