Hello,
I'm trying some to install Debian Linux 2.6.8 hppa
Sarge on a HP 9000/C110 PA-Risc machine.
I 've downloaded the iso-files and wrote them to a
CD-R, which worked perfectly.
I managed to go through the complete installation
procedure without to many concerns.
Unfortunately the machine hangs during booting;
last message on the screen is "HP SDC MLC: Registering the system Domain
Controller's HIL MLC"
I found some info on the Net about this problem,
and the solution would be to install another kernel from the CD
(kernel-image-2.6.8 instead of ...2.6.8-smp). Even the way to do it, is
explained : using "chroot" and "dpkg", sometimes "apt-get" commands after
entering the Shell in the debian installer.
Unfortunately : dpkg, apt, chroot, aptitude
and dselect are "not found" ("/bin/sh: dpkg: not found").
Is there a way to force the Debian
Install to choose the kernel I want (the one
without -smp) ? Or is there another way to go ?
Thanks in advance.
Filip
