In case anyone cares, I finally got back to my J2240 (the one that was =
rescued from the trash) this weekend and have gotten it successfully =
running with a dual-boot HP-UX 10.20 / Linux 2.4.0-32 configuration. =
The Debian install was a bit choppy, i.e. many "hangs" from which only =
pulling out power from underneath the box solved, but I eventually got =
there. Even from a cold boot, the install would hang in different =
places. I'm having major problems with the package installer hanging =
which causes me to have to power cycle the box and run fsck to recover, =
but the basic system is up and running. Maybe I'll go to the latest =
kernel to see what that does to / for me. So far, I've only been able =
to connect to the serial port via a Reflection session to login to the =
system after getting through the boot path & IPL on the attached =
graphics terminal. Does anyone know how to use the graphics terminal =
exclusively? I assume that I need to change some of the IPL parms, e.g. =
sti=3D or console=3D, but I do not know what values to use. Any help =
would be appreciated.
TIA,
Craig
