Hello Joerg,
I got my 720/50 up and running with 2.4.9-pa70 or thereabouts.
2.4.14-pa2 also worked fine. Haven't had time to test the newest kernel
yet. I suggest you check the parisc-linux archives. I was quite verbal
in my quest to get my 720/50 going. :-)
Basically, I did the following:
1. Enable the serial console
2. Create a new nfsroot by hacking the debootstrap scripts on my i386. I
had to use some special debs here, but I believe they are now in
unstable.
3. Cross-compile the latest kernel using xc-latest, and make a lifimage
with palo.
4. Netboot the lifimage with bootpd/rbootd and mount the nfsroot created
in step 2 read-write.
5. fdisk and mke2fs the partitions (remember the partition for palo!) I
wanted to install on.
6. Manually walk through the debootstrap and install all the packages I
required on the new mounted partition (you use a chroot sometimes).
7. Install palo.
8. Reboot. apt-get update. apt-get upgrade.
Or you could just wait for the 0.9.3 ISO which is out/will be out
shortly.
Regards,
Albert
