Get the 32bit ISO image and install that one. Since I have the same box, I know that the 1.6 firmware is up-to-date and that your box should run without any problems. (And: your p75 isn't that bad compared with the 715/64) :-) Greetings, Helge Damm wrote: > > i'm trying to install pa-risc linux on a hp 9000/715/64 box via an > internal cdrom drive. the kernel boots up but then reports > > "firmware does not allow selection of default wide mode. > are you trying to boot a 64bit kernel on a pa1.1 box?" > > the processor revision is 2.4 (guess that pa1.1 refers to this) and > bootrom is reported to be 1.6 (another guess: means firmware version > is 1.6--which according to hp's site is the most 'recent' revision). > i scanned the archives but got lost in the myriads of weird tech > stuff. if anyone can help me with this, that would be cool (otherwise > i'd have to install linux on a crappy old p75). thanks in advance. > > -rene -- _______________________________________________________________________ THE BEST RUN E-BUSINESSES RUN SAP _______________________________________________________________________ Helge Deller email: helge.deller@sap.com SAP AG Walldorf/Baden, Germany LinuxLab SAP LinuxLab support address: linux@sap.com
