[parisc-linux] Tried to Install Debian 3r1 on C110, C180 and 2 712/60, no luck.

[Adam Skaffloth]

Did you install it from the woody iso ?
My install are from the iso image.
Or did you use netinstall ?

The C180 has 768MB Ram, the C110 has 512MB.
The 712s has 64MB and 80MB.

All above machines was running HP-UX 10.20 or 11.00 before I tried to
install,
or still is as nothing has been installed yet.
So I know they are working.

I need to know if this is a installer problem in woody iso.
I have seen that a lot of people have got these machines installed and
working,
but did they use a previous version or did they use netinstalls ?

I am also confused that there are reference to some problems with different
PS/2
keyboards. I used original HP Workstation Keyboard and mouse and still got
the problem with
the C110 and C180.

IIRC, Visualize-EG should be working with STIfb driver.

We have that conf as well, and installed it without any problem.

That's definitely not normal.
How much RAM does these boxes have ?
We noticed that bellow 32MB of RAM, the installer may 'Defunct' during the
install process. In that case you would have to install the HD into another
box, prepare it and install the software on it, and plug it back into the
712, see the PA-RISC/Linux Boot HOWTO for details
