Problems with Installing of 0.9.2 on HP 715/100

Hello everyone,
I have a big proplem of installing PA-RISC Linux 0.9.2 on a HP9000 Model 715/100.

I have downloaded the cd-image palinux-0.9.2.iso.gz from parisc-liux.org, i have decompressed it with gzip on a linux-machine and burned it with Nero 5.5 on a NT-machine.

When i poweron the hp, i press ESC until i'm in the boot-admin-menu. Therefrom i boot with
'boot scsi.2.0' (the scsi-id of the cd-rom is 2)
from the cd.

Then a window comes which says
"Attempting to boot."
Then the cd boots. There are lots of different messages. One warning comes:
"warning: Kernelname doesn't end with 32 or 64"

After that, other messages came on my screen.
The last message is:
"Set default PSW W bit to 0".

Then the the maschine reboots.

I have tried to boot the cd on to different hp9000 model 715/100. The result is everytime the same.
Bye,
Martin Eisfeld

Hi,

I also had problems with 0.92iso (and 0.91iso). palinux-0.9-32serial.iso then worked for me and the machine is up and running for days.
Why 0.91/2 doesn't work I still don't know :(

Hope that helps.

I tried a 715/50 last week; it worked fine with serial console, but with graphical console it rebooted early in the kernel boot sequence.

Can you switch to a serial console and try again?
