Comments/Problems:
I have a lot of old HP PA-RISC machines lying around, so I thought I'd
try to help get the sarge installer tested on hppa. I know it's not
yet considered to be "working".
I downloaded <http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/hppa/20040329/sarge-hppa-netinst.iso>
onto a local computer (HP-UX 10.20, with a DVD burner in it), and burned
it to a CD-R. Then I assembled an old HP 715/100, with an external SCSI
CD-ROM, monitor/keyboard/mouse, and network transceiver+cable. I booted
the machine and hit ESC to get the firmware menu/prompt.
At the firmware prompt, I typed 'search scsi' to see what names the
devices were using, then 'boot scsi.2.0' to boot the CD.
Linux booted properly, but after a few seconds I got the following errors:
Setting up filesystem, please wait ..
umount: /initrd: Invalid argument
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
The "Segmentation fault" messages repeated for as long as I cared to let
them, one every few seconds on average. Hitting the (soft) power button
caused Linux to shut down gracefully and power off.
I repeated this procedure with the same result.
The suggestion to use 'DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low' was made in IRC, but I don't
know precisely how to *do* that. I tried booting the CD with
'boot scsi.2.0 DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low' but it made no visible difference.
