Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:

the email that said `do not apt-get upgrade because it will break your system'?

Revolutions do not require corporate support.

Oh :) I thought we got past that :)

Hi!

I've been following this list for a while ever since my school handed me 5 735's, some "Series 700's" and three 712's. I asked around and decided to try to install pa-risc linux on the 712's as they "have better support". So, I'm sitting here with the machine running. There's a SCSI cd-rw on the SCSI-2 port. The machine is a 712/80i with 1 GB disk and 64MB ram, also an internal floppy.

I have a copy of pa-risc linux, the ~134MB 0.9.2 ISO file, on a CD. It will boot, and all's fine in the debian installation until the "Configure Device Driver Modules" step. When I do this, it claims,

"No modules were found in /target/lib/modules/2.4.0-32 that could be configured. Please install the kernel modules first, bu running the "Configure Device Driver Modules" step"

I take it you can see my quandrary.

Does anyone know what to do? I've heard a serial install works better, what does that entail? Also, I believe that this is a 64 bit machine, am I right?

With the serial install, I have a VT 420 on the serial port. I tried booting a copy of the parisc 64 bit serial ISO but it didn't work...

I know the CDrom is good too because I can install HPUX 10.20 off CD from that same drive, on the same computer.

Thanks,

-phil

that's fine. all the drivers you need are built into the kernel.

No, all the machines you have mentioned are 32-bit machines.

Revolutions do not require corporate support.

BTW, this is a bug in the installer. It should say "Install Kernel Modules" or something like that instead.

...

Sorry - no.
Please install the 32 bit kernel bits and that msg will go away.

I've tried to natively build 2.2.4-4 on a 712/60 with gcc-3.0. It breaks in ./glibc-2.2.4/sysdeps/hppa/dl-machine.h at line 534:

I didn't see why I may not check the two low bits... I gave up:-(

My dl-machine.h has

if ((unsigned long) reloc_addr & 3)

I guess you are trying to use an old buggy glibc.
