Pa-linux install hangs on a HP 9000 712/100

Thanks for the former help. Now I can boot the machine.

I tried to install PA linux on to this machine.
When the installation starts, everythins seems fine, The devices are recongnized correcttly.
My SCSI HD is on 0.0.
It hangs after booting, the last message the installer gave is:
Switching from PDC console.

Do anyone have any idea about this?

Thanks,

zhao

Christoph may've been a little exuberant with his exclamation marks, but he was dead on about your system having the wrong date. Please fix the date on the system you're sending mail from, even if only to make me happy ...

You haven't said anything about which Linux you're trying to stick on the box, so presumably you're using the CD? If so, it's not hanging, it's just switching to the serial console. (This is in a FAQ thingy on the website, I'm sure.) Hook another system up to the serial A of the HP box and you'll see what's going on. Christoph gave the relevant details in his post so I'll not repeat them here.

Andrew.

How is your console defined ?
console=ttyS0 ?

You should check the command line which is passed by palo to the kernel !
