RE: [parisc-linux] Booting 2.6
Hi,
Boy, you have a long memory ... back to a year ago when I responded without
copying parisc-linux. No need to worry, I learned that lesson :-). I'm also
copying debian-hppa, which I hope is a good thing (but I'm open to
correction if not).
Yes, I tried initrd=1/boot/initrd.img with everything else the same. I have
attached the console output.
On my first SCSI drive, there is a 70MB partition that gets mounted as
/BOOT where all of the images are, then there is a swap partition and then /
starts. Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,
Harry

I'm hoping you mean: initrd=1/boot/initrd.img

Erm, can you capture and post the console output? (ALL of it)
I'm assuming you have a serial console.
Starting from firmware (BCH) prompt.

Change the kernel or the disk configuration and things will get
scrambled if one is not really, really, really careful.

the CD will not auto-mount /boot or /.
And it is likely your disk has /boot as part of /.
This is OK as long as the root disk does NOT cross
of the 2GB boundary from the start of the disk.
See palo help file for more details.
