Hi ,
I am trying to install linux on Apollo 735 . The system boots normally ( serial console, from cd image 0.9.2) . When i reach the point to install the kernel and the modules , the installer starts the installation and gives message
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: No such device or address

Can somebody help me ?

The installer gives that message for everyone, but normally it immediately continues with the install. What disks are you trying to install on to? I don't believe the internal wide scsi disks are supported atm, but people have installed on to external narrow disks.

Can you try adding sim700=noneg:0xff,nodisc:0xff to the boot params
please. Say 'yes' to the interact with IPL question if that machine gives you one, else perhaps append 'isl' to the bo command. Then just modify one of the existing params to append that string.

The same problem as before.
The cd-rom is on the scsi bus , can this be the problem.
At the beginning the kernel gives message for the devices and it recognizes two scsi
3. Outfield Core SCSI (10) at 0xf0825000, versions 0x9, 0x0, 0x71, 0x0, 0x04
9. Outfield FW SCSI (10) at 0xf0830000, versions 0x9, 0x0, 0x7c, 0x0, 0x0
but the second one is not configured.

The cd-rom is on the scsi bus , can this be the problem.

It shouldn't be a problem, but you could try mounting the CD on a server and then installing via nfs or http, so only one device is active on the the scsi bus.

Right, it is not supported in the kernel atm.
