Hello,
I've just get an Indy station with a r5000 proc...
I've tryed to boot it but with no success.
I have tryed the tftpboot + dhcp solution but after downloading the
kernel the station just seems to hang.
There are three video cards that were shipped with indys. Two of them
work with Linux, the other displays the symptoms you mention. I would
guess you're out of luck for now, but there is work in progress to
support this card, but afaik it isn't ready yet.
See this thread for more details ->
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2003/debian-mips-200308/
msg00008.html (I have access to all three types of cards)
Then I setenv console d and when I try to boot now I don't have
anything on my serial console neither the graphical one... So I wonder
how I can get back the graphical console and try to do my
installation...
Can you get back into the graphical bootup at all? There should be a
reset option for the console. If not, try guessing setting for the
serial port and try to get back in to there :)
Regards.
