Any idea if anyone can help out as to why the serial console is
garbled once debian-installer kicks in? The text on the kernel
boot was completely fine!
Please tell your terminal program (on the MAC) to use "vt102"
terminal emulation. The debian installer uses ANSI graphics to
paint the screens during installation.
This worked perfectly - I was able to get my C8000 up and running
this weekend!
That's great!
Much thanks to everyone for help and patience! I will
installing/updating my J6750 during the week - and will hopefully be
looking to help test/contribute going forward.
If there is something in the Debian PA-RISC space that I can help out
with, please let me know! I am looking to put these machines to good
use, and hope to use them for a long time going forward - so please
let me know if there is any help that I can provide to the port! :)
If you want to contribute, there are probably things which need work like
updating the documentation in the Wiki (e.g. your steps to get it installed
with your MAC?), or code testing/fixing.
On the other side we are currently lacking debian buildd servers.
As you can see here:
http://unstable.buildd.net/index-hppa.htmlin the last weeks only the sibaris machine (C8000) and the parisc (A500-44) are constantly up and running.
sibaris is right down since 2 days (I don't know why yet), and it would be nice to have one additional buildd machine.
So if you have the possibilities (direct internet access and enough money to cover the power bill :-))
it would be great if I could use one of your machines as optional buildd..?
