Comments/Problems:

This was my first hppa install. Most of the install (the entire first
stage) was performed noninteractively using my preseeding and digress
framework. The first stage install went fine, although out of several
dozen I've done today in teaking digress to work with hppa, I did
experience one that hung the machine during partman disk formatting to
the point that linux stopped responding to pings. And of course partman
is slow on hppa with the 2.4 kernel.


Anyway, problems began in second stage boot. I'm using the network
console, and got some alerts. A truncated version of the first one,
which happended before linux booted at all:

************* SYSTEM ALERT **************
ALERT LEVEL: 6 =3D Boot possible, pending failure - action required
REASON FOR ALERT
SOURCE: 8 =3D I/O=20
SOURCE DETAIL: 6 =3D disk   SOURCE ID: 0

I accepted this alert, and it went on to boot linux. So what does this alert
mean, anyone know? Any way to disable it?


Then I got a second alert:

Detecting hardware: de4x5 acenic sym53c8xx_2
Roading de4x5 module.
=2E..
REASON FOR ALERT
SOURCE: 0 =3D unknown, no source stated
SOURCE DETAIL: 0 =3D unknown, no source stated   SOURCE ID: FF

Here it hung. Apparently de4x5 is not happy with this hardware. This was
kernel 2.4.27-64-smp BTW. I reset the machine and discover didn't load
de4x5 this time since it hung before, and the system came up to
base-config ok, and the network even worked.=20

eth0: Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 65 at 0x80, 00:30:6E:1C:90:2E, IRQ 128.
eth0: Setting half-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of 0021.

So the tulip driver is compiled in, is used, and presumaly gets pissed off
when de4x5 tries to take over the same card. :-/

The other two ethernet cards did not come up, since discover wants to load
the acenic module for them, and this module does not exist with the 2.4.27
hppa kernel.

I notice that de4x5 is not included in the d-i udebs at all, which is
probaly why my first stage install succeeded. Perhaps it should be dropped
=66rom the hppa kernel entirely, if all it does is conflict with tulip and
crash boots..


For some reason it wanted to configure console-data in the second stage.
Not sure why, though I've seen this on sparc and s390 too.

The rest of the install went ok.

   * Colin Watson
     - Portable shell fix in hotplug-pcmcia.
   * Joey Hess
     - Work around de4x5 / tulip problem by using tulip if de4x5 is not
       available, and blacklisting de4x5. So we can control which is used
       on a per-arch or kernel basis by including the right one on the
       initrd.
     - If above hack causes tulip to be used for the first stage, call
       register-modules to make it be used on the installed system.
       Closes: #282814
     - On hppa 2.4 this doesn't happen, since tulip is built in.
       In that case, de4x5 will still be blacklisted so the hang will be
       avoided. Closes: #283754
