Hello All
I was given an old HP715 in good state but not working.
After a while..., i got a few char on the screen and no more.
(the machine was ready to work :-)
I build a linux-box with an old P75 grab some gz/tgz to build=20
a boot disk for this machine. (using the PA-LINUX links thanks to all =
of contributors)
i connect a serial terminal. then it boot....:-):-)=20
but stop leaving me with the contents of CAPTURE.TXT ( 2 boots).
i plug in the graphic card : it does the same but on screen.
does someone can tell me about the status of the firmware of this =
machine???=20
shall i replace with=20
is there something to do on the hardware???
to me it is the paralel port or something to do with it.
i tryed two kernel :vmlinux-20010115 and vmlinux-20010305 but it does =
the same.
=20
i got a tape with a firmware patch ready to put in but i read that it is =
possible to build a kernel
without parallel support. (less risks for the machine)
where can i find the patchs between PDC ROM rev 1.0 and PDC ROM rev 1.6
if i make a rev 1.6 patch do i have to make a rev 1.5 rev 1.4 etc...?
who can tell me whitch solution is the best and why.
is the following text from your faq the solution for me
a.. I'm booting parisc linux on an early Series 700 workstation, and the =
machine hangs after printing:=20
ASP version 1 at ..... found
What's going on?=20
This was a bug in the parallel port driver, which was fixed in CVS on =
2001-02-16. You can workaround the problem by using a newer kernel or by =
reconfiguring your kernel and removing support for the parallel port =
(CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC).=20
