Re: hppa on a 742

Hi, thanks that one helps, except it leaves one question: ./palo/palo -f /dev/null -b iplboot -k /home/cvs/parisc/linux/vmlinux \ -c 0/vmlinux HOME=/ TERM=linux root=/dev/sda3 ip=bootp \ -s lifimage What would be the entry to make the system boot diskless? root=/dev/nfs

Re: hppa on a 742

Hi again, thanks all for the hints, made a mistake, trying to relay on the kernels I found on the debian site and the one included in the iso image, After downloading the current kernel sources and compiling them I have a kernel now which at least is now producing bootp requests after loading.

hppa on a 742

Hello everyone, I know this is probably not supported and wont be in the future anyways, but... Well I have a 742 here trying to get linux running on it. I installed the iso image 0.9-32serial on a 1GB disk and the system is booting, if the filesystem is checked. (I can check it mounting the

Re: hppa on a 742

Thanks Matthew, but sorry my real question might be not specific enough. OK. The 742 is basically the VME version of the 715/Scorpio, There's an rboot daemon available for Linux; if you run Debian, just apt-get install it; if not there's one on the puffin.external.hp.com site somewhere.

Re: hppa on a 742

Hi, thanks, what I'm actually doing is, using the HP-UX box to answer the rboot request, transmitting a lifimage. I have two of those, one that crashes with an HPMC BUS ERROR and one which starts the debian installation, which looks promising, but is not really what I wnat to do. Another

Re: hppa on a 742

Hi Martin First of all, you need to specify the machine in the /etc/rbootd.conf file. Looks like you have this working already, but here it is: 08:00:09:35:21:18 guernsey Then you need to set up bootp/dhcp. The dhcpd is capable of serving both; I use bootp. Here's the stanza I used
