see

for my experience on using alien on the compaq .rpm's. It is tricky,
especially if you use gcc 3.x, but it works. And you get your .deb.

That message isn't in the Scyld driver.

A similar message is
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: PCI Fatal Bus Error, %8.8x.\n",
   dev->name, csr5);
The exact numbers in the output are critical for understanding the
problem.

What is the driver detection message?

Re: CCC/CXX installation

2003-12-04 Thread John Goerzen

I noticed the same problem recently.  Go into the create-comp-config.sh
file and move the -v so it comes after the -V {GCC_PATH} thing.

Also, I hacked it to call gcc instead of gcc-2.95.  You may need to make
a few other minor adjustments to GCC_PATH.

Re: CCC/CXX installation

2003-12-04 Thread Phil Carmody
OK, I grabbed the latest rpms, and have a key.
I noticed that the cxx rpm's version number is higher than the one in the .deb,
so decied to not try installing cxx, and just restrict myself to ccc.

However, when it comes to me and ccc, it was the same old same old:
<<<
Setting up ccc (6.5.9.001-1) ...
Error: gcc -V 2.95.4 failed to compile and link "int main(int argc, char
**argv) {return 0;}".
   The ccc installation expects a working installation of GCC.
gcc: `-V' must come at the start of the command line
Aborting

If you can correct the problem, you can rerun this script manually
by entering a command in the following format:

create-comp-config.sh ccc-version [gcc-path]

The current invocation of create-comp-config.sh was:

/usr/lib/compaq/ccc-6.5.9.001-6/alpha-linux/bin/create-comp-config.sh
ccc-6.5.9.001-6 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-linux/2.95.4
dpkg: error processing ccc (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
>>>

Now, sure,

You mean in one of the API UP1x00 boxes? I'm not sure if it'll ever
work in the older (UP1000 or UP1100) ones, but I think I've heard
reports of success in the UP1500, which appears to have a newer SRM
(and therefore newer BIOS emulator).

I don't think who made it really matters, it's the generic AGP BIOS
code that causes the problems with the older BIOS emulators.

CCC/CXX installation

2003-12-04 Thread Phil Carmody
It's probably time for my yearly attempt to install the Compaq C compiler, and
I'me hitting trouble before I even start (however, I'm not phased, it's never
worked i the past, and I'm desensitized now).

I notice that I have the following files (downloaded from a previous attempt)

ccc-6.5.9.001-6.alpha.rpm.cryptcxx-6.5.9.28-1.alpha.rpm.crypt

However, looking at my email records, it appears that I no longer have the gpg
key for the crypt files (almost certainly lost in a move between e-mail
providers). Are the downloads keyed to a particular user, or did everyone get
the same key? 

If the latter, I don't suppose one could mysteriously appear in my inbox, could
it?

If the former, can anyone suggest a better search string than "compiler" on the
compaq (hp) alpha site. Getting _zero_ hits for "compiler" _really_ isn't
particularly impressive.

Hello :)
Very cryptical...
For my experience PWS500 doesn't give any problem for Debian installation.
Actually I installed Debian Potato and always ugraded since then! :)
Actually I didn't read your previous messages, so I hope not to repeat 
something already said...
You should:
1) switch to SRM console from AlphaBIOS advanced menu
2) power cycle and wait for SRM
3) break automatic boot is configured by pressing vigorously ^C
4) boot from floppy (boot dva0) or from cdrom (boot dqa0... emm... I think)
5) installation procedure should come on screen and is simple enough 
only to require you to repeat pressing Enter key until the end.
If you have already installed debian you will be familiar with packages 
and could install only packages you like. There's no particular 
requirement for packages on PWS, apart from kernel-image-x.y.zz-generic 
being preferred to install.
