[parisc-linux] Problem to load kernel by PALO (B2600)

Hi, 
i'am new to parisc, but have managed to successfully set up 
an hp715/100 with palinux-0.9.3.

I have downloaded the latest isoimage 2.4.19-pa19-20020922,
from http://pateam.esiee.fr/download.html
Burned to CD and succesfull booted from internal CDROM drive into the IPL.
The problem arises when trying to load the kernel.
I have tried with no success:
1. booting unmodified command line: 0/vmlinux
2. 0/vmlinux32
3. 0/vmlinux64
4. 0/dists/woody/main/disks-hppa/3.0.23-2002-09-22/32/linux.bin
5. 0/dists/woody/main/disks-hppa/3.0.23-2002-09-22/64/linux.bin

after b<enter>, the CD is accessed for about 20 seconds, and then
the almost same error message appears:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Command line for kernel: 'ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram console=tty0

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to exclude CDROM media problems, I tried to burn on
a regular CD (first one was RW), but again with no success.

Reading the Boot-howto didn't help.
Any help very much appreciated !

Regards,
                    Joachim

Hi,

I've just burned this netinst on a RW and tried it on a L1000 (I don't 
have a 715 to test it on alas), and it booted perfectly well.

Therefore I don't think this is an ISO problem, but rather a CD-ROM pb.

Maybe your CD-ROM driver isn't supported... Or damaged.
Have you tried with another one ?

HTH,

My bad replying to myself.
To make it clear: I meant CD-ROM drive, not 'driver'.
Sorry.
