Package: debian-installer Version: 20131104 Tags: ia64 Severity: grave Booting debian 7.x installer isos in an Integrity VM (virtualization on top of HP-UX/IA64) causes a guest crash after loading the initrd (the menu does work, and the crash happens regardless of selecting 'Install' or 'Expert'): Uncompressing Linux... done Loading file \initrd.gz...done **** Dumping Guest Image **** **** Done with dump (3820Kbytes) **** *** VM restarting *** Logs show little useful stuff (/var/opt/hpvm/guests/VMLINUX/log): ==================================================== Virtual machine started at Mon Nov 4 14:15:14 2013 ==================================================== ITC=0x11a5dcb1e49 timeofday: sec=0x5277abf2 usec=0xe1521 Device file = /var/opt/hpvm/uuids/eb3bbb9a-cb38-11e1-9c00-00306e38294a/vm_dev Ldom binding 0 allocation 512 MB ratio 256.00 MB per page Watchdog Timer flags loaded: expiration(0x0) use(0x0) Watchdog Timer flags saved: expiration(0x0) use(0x0) ==================================================== Virtual machine stopped at Mon Nov 4 14:15:19 2013 ==================================================== There is a 3911856 byte vm.core file which I presume is the dump mentioned in the console. Debian 6.0 does boot, although it lacks drivers for the virtual disks. Debian 5.10 works completely (boot and drivers). Host machine: HP zx6000, 2 x single core Intel (R) Itanium 2 Processor (Family 31 Model 1 stepping B1 == Madison 1.5GHz) Host OS: HP-UX B.11.31 HPVM version: B.04.30.00 Debian iso: debian-testing-ia64-netinst.iso (2013-11-04); identical results with 7.0 and 7.1 I'd like to get Debian running on my HPVMs again - 5.10 is really, REALLY old by now. Thanks, Lennert
