Comments/Problems:
i cannot use the 2.4 image as the kernel is too old to boot on my test
machine.
The last image i tried was the Nov 11 snapshot. That one did not work
for me at all. This one was much better.
A few glitches - i am doing a net install, but the default kernel had no
driver for the tulip card that is common to almost all hppa systems. It
did find the tg3 addon card that i had in the system and i was able to
use it to do the install.
After reboot, the system did not come up automatically. This seems to be
because the initrd parameter was missing from the palo command line
installed by the installer. If i manually add initrd=2/initrd.img, then
the system boots up fine.
doing task installation it complained about not being able to install
some packages. i think it is the kernel-image package that it was
complaining about...... there was also a message about not being able to
install read-edid, altho that didn't seem to cause any problems.
oh, and please remove saveserial from the hppa package list. it's not
needed and causes all sorts of problems.
thanks,
randolph
