Hello all,

First I want to congratulate you for this great job.

I have an old Apollo, a 715/50 Scorpio with 64Mb Ram and a Tulip in the EISA port and my goal is to turn it into a firewall.

So, since September, every week I upgrade all sources via CVS, and I make a kernel and I try to boot. I try via rbootd or from a hard disk, with STI or with serial console.

But I never have a commplete boot.

I have an old Apollo, a 715/50 Scorpio with 64Mb Ram and a Tulip in the EISA port and my goal is to turn it into a firewall.

It seems very unlikely that's a Tulip chip, since that's a PCI chipset that can't connect to EISA. If it's another EISA ethernet chipset, there's still some WAX work we need to get through.

From the beginnig of the year, I don't remenber exactly when, I have the same

message with this last lines:

Entry 00100170 first 00100000 n 5

Quoted 8 lines

Segment 0 load 00100000 size 1453916 mediaptr 0x1000 Segment 1 load 00264000 size 201128 mediaptr 0x164000 Segment 2 load 00298000 size 214428 mediaptr 0x196000 Segment 3 load 002d0000 size 8192 mediaptr 0x1cb000 Segment 4 load 002fbda8 size 71328 mediaptr 0x1cdda8 branching to kernel entry point 0x00100170

And nothing happen.

I've had this too with the exact same machine (without the EISA ethernet card). Then I decided to leave it for a LONG time, like 5 minutes, and it did boot. Could you try leaving it for something like an hour to see if you get anything on the console?

Actually I think there was EISA tulips (DC21040-based), but for Linux you need to use the de4x5 driver rather than the tulip driver.

Thanks for this information. This card comes from HP, this an extension card available when the 715 was buy. It's the HP 25567B EISA LAN adapter.

I try yesterday to boot from a kernel by rbootd, but during 1H30 nothing append.
I retry this weekend with the last kernel from the FTP.

In reply to WIES Nicolas

The "nothing is happing" ... I know that. But there is something happening,
but after a long time. On kernels of some days ago, I often have to wait for
one minute or so, but suddenly the kernel starts printing the well-know linux kernel style. So try to wait really some minutes....

Cheers

I don't understand where can be the problem because the kernel start to load, according to theses lines, and freeze.
My configuration is the last nfs-root for booting over the lan, and the esiee's fs_hd_sti.tar.gz for booting from the hard disk.
Both are configure for my lan.

Message for the esiee team : Can you add a date at your fs_hd_sti.tar.gz? Because we can't know how old is it.

With this message, you will find my .config

Thanks for the help,

Nicolas
