[parisc-linux] palinux 0.9 on 715/64 STI

[Nicolai Leymann]

Dear all,

I've downloaded the palinux 0.9 STI image and tried to install
it on my 715/64 (the 0.6.1 STI release runs fine). But during
booting from the CD the system hangs with the following messages:

  Warning: unable to open an initial console
  loop: enabling 8 loop devices

And thats it. Any ideas? Is it possible that the images tries
to open an serial console (which is not connected)?

   Nic

Here, I tested the serial version of 0.9. That's why we said that
715/Mirage were working!
I gonna look at it...

Be careful, Richard Hirst detected that the narrowsti.conf is bugged!
You have to modify the path (narrow -> sti). Perhaps, here is athe
explanation!

I gonna publish the fixed version on the ESIEE site, stay tuned, Thomas

I just did the test. It works on my 715/80 with my new iso!

Good luck, Thomas

I've corrected the ISO image with the STI problem (the file /narrowsti.conf
is still wrong -- see the errata).  If you have an old copy of this ISO, you
can patch it by downloading

http://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/cd-images/palinux-0.9-32sti.iso.sector0

    and running:

dd if=palinux-0.9-32sti.iso of=palinux-0.9-32sti.iso.sector0 conv=notrunc bs=512

    *** Do Not Omit the 'conv=notrunc'!!!!
