Pre-DEBIAN 8.0 install images for HPPA architecture (debian-ports unstable release)
Hello everyone,
I've prepared some initial netboot installation medias for
DEBIAN 8.0 on HPPA
which are available at:
http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hppa/debian-8.0/
You can find the instructions on how to install Debian 8.0 on hppa in our wiki at
https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Debian_Ports_Installation
The install images will install binaries from debian-ports (Debian "unstable").
Major changes include:
- Based on Debian 8.0 code base
- Full systemd support
- Linux kernel modules for SATA included
- Lots of bug fixes
- Should support all common PA-RISC hardware (on C8000 installation needs to be done via serial port)
I'm happy to get your feedback (either as bug report or successful installation report).
Helge
Cool, Thanks ;)

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. My Blogg: http://www.mybenke.org
Hi Helge et al,
I have tried this Debian 8.0 installation on a spare HD in my C3700. The installer is painless & "runs like a Swiss watch". I had no trouble installing a KDE desktop environment and booting it. The software repository and the packages downloaded gave no trouble at all. The base OS has been rock solid. I have installed boinc/seti@home and that has had the box at 100% CPU load all night without trouble. Some packages have been a bit slow/clunky but given the age of the C3700 that is no surprise.
The only package to consistently crash was "system settings" any time I tried to change display settings. The base OS has not crashed AT ALL.
Cheers, Geoff.

I'd like to say thank you as well. I've been intending to test debian on a J6700 I rescued, and I got to booting it after seeing this announcement.
Only the drives in the machine have an HP-UX installation I'd like to preserve for now and I haven't been able to dig out my spares yet. I'll see if I can get around to trying the install later.

I appear to be temporarily using gmail's horrible interface. I apologise for any failure in my part in trying to make it do the right thing with post formatting.

J6700 works pretty fine.

FYI, you could even e.g. add a SATA PCI card and attach SATA drives if you like.
The only important thing is, that the bootloader (PALO) and the /boot partition needs to be on a (small) SCSI disc.
