k100 help

Hi All,

I need help with my hp 9000/809 (k100). I have tried installing linux = with the lastest iso's from the parisc-linux website 6 times. Through = research on the mailing lists, i have changed the boot command line to use = ttyB0 instead of the default ttyS0, but to no avail.

I have downloaded the "pdc" net install iso's from fr.parisc-linux.org. = This iso booted (after the ttyB0 change) and the familiar installation = program loaded the "base system" onto my machine (it found the SCSI = controlers, disks, and the 100TX network card). After the base install = finishes and the system reboots. Its comes up with the message "this may = be the last message you see" and it IS the last message i see. It tells = me to change my console...

This is where I need help! How do I "change the console"? I've tried = using a standard dumb terminal and i've tried connecting the machine to a = PC running MicroSoft's Hyperterm. The machine won't display anything past = that point.

If its a Kernel change, can i make it on any linux box, or do i need an = HPPA box running linux to do it?

Thank you for ANY help you can offer me.

What's meant here is use a different "console=" parameter. Not as in "changing the oil" (in your car) or a diaper. ;^)

See the FAQ for how to change parameters in the boot loader.
