RE: Problem installing base system on C180
Joel,
I've used the latest netiso CD - 2.4.22. I made both the f0 and the Linux partitions bootable.
>From the mailing list archives, I saw that there is a possible conflict between the SCSI hard drive and the SCSI CD-ROM drive, so I used the CD initially, and then installed the base system from a NFS source. It seemed to work.
However, when I boot, I get a "bad magic" error. Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Chris

Which CD did you use Debian-3.0 r0, r1? and netinstall ?
May be have a look at the m-l <http://www.parisc-linux.org/mailing-lists/index.html>
May be try also a recent netiso cd from ESIEE team <http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/testing/>
hth,

I'm installing 2.4.22 (one CD) on a C180 workstation. It hangs when installing the base system.
The message is either:
Retrieving
file:/instmnt/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.5-6_hppa.deb
or sometimes
Retrieving
file:/instmnt/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.9.20_hppa.deb
I configured cfdisk with boot, swap, and Linux partitions.
At first, I tried to make the boot and Linux partitions bootable. The "PA-RISC Linux Boot HOWTO" guide suggests this in chapter 4.3.3. However, this produces an error message: "More than one primary partition is marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this.". Therefore, I just made the boot (f0) partition bootable.
I have tried rebooting multiple times. I have cleaned dust off of the CD. I have also tried doing a bad block scan on the Linux partition. No luck.
Any ideas?
