2. If I instaling from CD serial ver. (palinux-0.9-32serial.iso) then I have this message:

.........
Trying scsi.2.0
Boot path initialized
Attempting to load IPL

IPL error: bad IPL checksum.
.....

Is this mortally?

Best regards,

I'd suggest you boot the cd image (palinux-0.9.2.iso) using the serial console. I have the same system and the STI console does not work with that cd.

As soon as you have a minimal system running, switch the kernel image in /boot for this one:

	ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/vmlinux-32-20011008

Edit the /etc/palo.conf accordingly, re-run palo and reboot. I experienced scsi problems with the kernel in the cd image.

I'll try this with my J also to see what happens. Unfortunately, despite all the "junk" I brought home, the 700/92 has no keyboard (duh) and I could not scrounge one today. Oh well, back to the trash tomorrow. BTW, if I can scrounge a DB9<-->DB9 can I use a Reflection connection on my laptop as a console? I assume 9600/8/none/1 would be a good place to start?

Under linux, definitely. Try to find a real HP DB9-DB9 cable as the only time I had seen problems was when someone used a cheapo off-brand cable that didn't run all the lines.

9600-8N1 is correct default for all parisc machines that support serial console.

If you have problems with this, check the mail archives first please.

Hi all;

I send this with a dual purpose:

First:

I got my 712/80i running fine off the 0.9.2 ISO (it worked GREAT after I tried the 32bit kernel and not the 64bit one :> ) Anyway, It runs pretty well. So: has anyone gotten X working on a 712? and would like to share?

Second:
like I said, it works pretty well...
...except for the fact that while I'm using it (or even when it's just at a tty login prompt) these errors come up:

ip_local_deliver: bad loopback skb: PRE_ROUTING LOCAL_IN
skb: pf=2 (unowned) dev=lo len=328
PROTO=17 0.0.0.0:68 255.255.255.255:67 L=328 S=0x10 I=0 F=0x0000 T=16

67 and 68 are bootp server and client ports, respectively. How can I get rid of these? they prevent the box from being really useful because they pop up every minute or so at the current cursor location, which is a major detriment to doing, well, anything.

As far as I can tell, these packets are coming from the machine itself, and it's attempting to send a broadcast packet over loopback. Perhaps by turning off bootp services in /etc/inetd.conf?

thanks for your time,

-phil

I know this is kinda cheesey, but kill the dhcp-client process and at least you won't get these messages anymore. Long-term find out where in the rc tree it is started and disable it (I haven't gotten that far yet).
