Jensen Install Stops
Hi,
Yes, i'm another one with a jensen...
I tried to install debian 2.2r6 on a jensen (dec 2000 axp300),
but the boot process stops after the console init:
<-->
[....]
Initial ramdisk at: 0xfffffc0007d94000 (1331909 bytes)
Max ASN from HWRPB is bad (0xf)
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
<-->
Finish. I did some research and found out, after this msg should
follow some msg's about the cpu and ram.
Why doesn't it boot?
I found many doc's and postings about the jensen, but all are
very old. And i hate to make 5 floppys to start 2'000'000 bootloaders,
only to boot from disk and then install from cdrom. It should be
possible to start from cdrom, or am i wrong?
I also tried to install redhat 7.2, but the alpha iso had a corrupted
linux.gz, which sux! I didnt found alpha iso's for suse, are there any?
I read, i should have SRM version 1.7 or so, is this really necessary?
>>> show config
DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP - ROM Version 2.2
I burned the debian iso with Nero (windows), does this make a difference?
i hope somebody can help..
cu,
Dobin
PS:
Here some more boot msg's:
