Try installing at medium priority (add 'debconf/priority=medium' to the boot parameters) and deselect the offending module during hardware detection for the CD drive. That is assuming that you don't actually need the zalon module of course. pgpopJedKbD04.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm afraid the c110 doesn't have PCI and thus does in fact require the Zalon driver (GSC bus support for Symbios 53c7x0 SCSI controller). Any chance more info could be posted to the parisc-linux.org mailing list? parisc-linux.org has a "How to report Kernel bugs" page that tells which info would be helpful. thanks, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Fail to install debian on PARISC C110
Thanks for replying, when I deselect the zalon module from being loaded, everything works. However, I could not configure the network or partition the harddisk. It seems it could not detect any of the devices. Used the hardware detect, and zalon scsi is a required module. Loading it would cause the box to crash and needs to be restarted. The box's original HPUX seems to be working correctly. However, when I acquire the unit, it has a root login which I have no access to, hence I need to reinstall Debian and remove the original partition. I hope this is possible. In the meantime, I will try to get more information regarding the this issue.

I hope this > is possible. While it's way more fun/productive to run Debian on the machine, you could still recover that hpux install by booting it single user and changing the root password. It's been a while since I've done it, but I think when you tell it to boot that path and it asks "Interact with ISL?" (IPL? something like that) you say yes and then do something like "hpux -s". I think that will get you in without prompting for a root passwd (if not there is some way to do it, just search around).

If you are willing and able to collect a bit more information about the symptoms you are seeing, the following URL would help you organize that: http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/kernelbug-howto.html Essentially, we need to know which kernel version is being used. Using a newer Debian installer from here _might_ work: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ thanks, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, I hope this helps, * Version of the kernel you are running (output of the uname -a command) - Linux (none) 2.6.8-2-32 * What compiler and linker did you use to build the kernel? (gcc 3.0.4? 3.2? What version of binutils? Are you cross-compiling?) - No compile, installation using CD using sarge 3.1r2 for hppa. * What machine you are booting the kernel on? (712/80? B132L? C3000?) - HP9000 C110 * Does it have a remote management card? - No * Are you trying to use serial console or graphics console? - graphics console, * What kernel command line is palo using? '0/vmlinux root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk ramdisk_size=21384 init=/linuxrc' console=tty0 sti=8/0 sti_font=VGA8x16 TERM=linux * Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel 32-bit kernel * Register dumps,System.map,console output Observations: None, except the whole system crash when loading the zalon7xx module for zalon SCSI, cannot switch console using ALT-Functions keys, even when I am in console mode, whenever the loading reaches the zalon module, the entire system hangs, only remedy is to reboot. This happens intermittently, with this message displayed over and over again "kernel: HP SDC: Transaction add failed: transaction already queued?"

Re: Fail to install debian on PARISC C110
Hi, I have 128Mb Ram, I have also tried taking out the Ram for cleaning, I have also tried this "mem=128" during IPL boot. Both of them didn't work, the problem is still the same, the system crashed during zalon scsi load.
