Hi Frans, ramdisk_size=16384 is what is loaded on the kernel boot paramter line as default. It does not work. I have increased this value to ramdisk_size=32768. It did also fail with the same symptoms.
In the meantime I have repeated the tests on a 712/100 I have at work. That machine behaves the sane: It only successfully boots using 40960 as the ramdisk_size paramter. I have more issues: using X on these machines is not possible (the mouse does not work, despite using a good working configuration from a Debian 3.0 HPPA installation on the same machine 712/100). I will do a follow up debug report after doing some more trying. Bye, Thomas Am Mittwoch, 6.
