[parisc-linux] a pretty big change

[Paul Bame]

= After a day of hacking, I was finally able to link the kernel successfully.
= It booted through to the end of realmode_setup.  Probably, further work is
= needed on the TLB handler.  I wonder if calls between real and virt, and
= visa versa are working.  No change to som_relocate was necessary.

Glad you had better luck with the HPUX boot loader than I had.

= There is one problem.  I now have to turn off the system power to get the
= system to reboot.  Formerly, I could just press the TOC button.

That happens pretty frequently to me but I've not tracked down why
it happens.  Did you try holding the TOC button in for several seconds?
On some workstations I've been told that generates a hard reset.

= It also looks like the "real_" defines and protos can be eliminated.

As I merge in your changes I'll look into that.

Subject: [hppa-linux] Bootstrap #3 successful



I'm happy to report that bootstrap #3 passed for everyone who reported back
thus far, thanks for taking the time to help out. Network, disk, and even
ZIP drive boots worked. I'd like to see a CD-ROM test if someone has a
CDR drive available.

1) 780/C160       (disk)
2) 715/64         (BOOTP)
3) 816/E35        (disk)
4) 712/100        (disk)
5) 712/100        (SCSI ZIP drive!)
6) 715/33         (RBOOTD) 
7) 715/80         (?disk?)

This means that we now have a simple but functional bootstrap. We are ready
to load a real kernel instead of a dummy one!

Phil Schwan is helping to solve the ftp problems and I will be uploading
the latest working boot sources. I've also added GPL license stubs to
each source file, a mildly detailed README, etc.

Regards,
Jason Eckhardt.
