IMHO it doesn't matter, as mentionned in previous mail, the system hang very earlier at 'Search devices ...' step and the cdrom green led stay co= ntiniously light. Even TOC (I try it to get a piminfo) doesn't work at this stage. Additionally, on a another b180 the problem doesn't occurs with the same kernel? > >Finally, out of curiosity, why are you trying to use the PDC console? >The B2k should have a 16550 port (off the suckyio chip???) that should >work for you. > Yes usual serial console works fine for this model. In fact the first goal was not to test PDC console but it was to test the= basic config files suggested in arch/parisc/debian-configs (32 bits becau= se I test it in parallel on a 180). AFAIK it is the config used to build install CD and network boot lifimage= ? So, in case of problem (test corrupting system, disk broken, ...) and for= the newbies, I would be sure that config is also relevant to (re-)build _quickly_ a system of this model. Thanks for your attention and advises (it will be usefull for futur test)= . Merry Christmas, Joel PS: For 32 bit release UP release, I also find strange that DEBUG SPINLOC= K option was selected and selectable. I was also convinced that it had only= matter with SMP config? ******************************************** Promo Tiscali ADSL: 35 Euros/mois, 1er mois et activation =3D 0 Euro http= ://adsl.tiscali.be
