Betr.: [parisc-linux] HP C180
Quoted 7 lines
My c180 is now happily booting (current CVS kernel), however whenever I try to ls some dirs (no all, this example is from
/usr/bin) I get errors along these lines
ls: memory exhausted
init-2.04# ls ap*
Swap cache: add 0, delete 0, find 0/0
Free swap: 0kB
The 2.4.9 kernel really needs swap, or so I've read on the linux-kernel = mailing list.
You should add some swap. 2* [size of main memory] is a safe amount. It's considered a bug, but it needs swap even if there is free memory.....
Good luck,
Jurriaan
I Run into the exact same problem on a mounted ext2fs with 2xram as swap. init-2.04# find . -name palo -print

ls: memory exhausted
I had this with 2.4.9, turned out I'd booted a root fs with old libc6 installed. When I rebooted using a current libc6 the problem went away.
Richard
Ok, can you point me to a totally current root image?

Hello,
Make your own:
palo -f /dev/null -k vmlinux -r root.bin -s lifimage [-b iplboot] \
-c "0/linux HOME=/ root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk"where vmlinux is the a kernel you've compiled from CVS (possibly using the cross-compiler) and root.bin is the latest Debian hppa bootdisk. Netboot the resulting lifimage and off you go! :-)
Regards,
Albert

I have been rolling my own kernels, however I've been useing nfsroot with one of the prebuilt tarballs. Where can I find the latest debian hppa bootdisks? ftp.debian.org? (I havn't noticed them in my debian mirror).

Hello,
I generally use http://http.us.debian.org/ or http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/
(great mirror site). Your local mirror probably only mirrors i386. I can't imagine why "normal" sites would want to keep around 4 GB (?) of HPPA packages. :-)
I also built a new nfsroot for myself by using debootstrap, and slightly modifying the "woody" script. My system isn't quite up and running yet (still struggling with Jurij's patch), but you could do the same if your HP is misbehaving.
Regards,
Albert
