[parisc-linux] Debian install on K580

[Robert Stanford]

After installing the base system (woody) and rebooting, the base config
starts. Everything works fine till I get up to apt configuration. I
choose no to the below question and the error shown appears and ths
colsole (PDC) stops responding. I can still ping the box though.


Use security updates from security.debian.org?  
                                                                   . 
              <Yes>            <No>                      . 

apt-cache(429): unaligned access to 0x403d708c at ip=0x400614f7


I've had to netboot the machine with a custom kernel (2.4.18 from
parisc-linux.org) which I built with the cross compiler and mounted the
root.bin image via nfs to start the install. After that I completed the
install with the 0.9.3 CD , all due to the PDC console :)
