Subject: MCP750 and CPX2000 System
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 19:07:42 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199812220007.SAA00492@lists.linuxppc.org> (raw)
Hi All,
I just wanted to tell the community that I have successfully netbooted an
MCP750, as part of a CPX2000 system. It's a rescue kernel, and I had to work
around the fact that I did not have residual data. Thanks to Eric Valette,
and transitive thanks to all the developers that he thanked... now I just
have to figure out how to get a full blown installation happening to disk.
Problems so far:
It finds the NCR scsi controller chip, but ends up timing out on some scsi
command. I don't know what the command is yet. With this problem, I can't
get at the disk and the cdrom.
It finds two IDE controllers as expected. No problem here.
It finds the 21140 ethernet chip, and programs it for MII. I use ifconfig
to configure it, however RX seems to work but not TX. Weird.
If anyone can provide help, I'm at somer@nortel.ca. Hopefully this is not
related to not having residual data....
Cheers,
-Jim
