[parisc-linux] UNable to boot the cd.

[AYAZ, MOHAMMED ASIF]

Thank YOu all Gentlemenfor your over whelming response :)

I use Roxio's Easy Cd creator ( as I use to Burn (Linux- i386) Cd's ) 
Is ther any Special Procedure for burning  cd's for parisc..

* The type of the cdrom drive you used to boot (is it a hp buildin?) couldn't
allow you to boot. Could boot with an hpux install CD?

=> Yes, IT works fine with Hpux install CD ! 


* Try reading documentation about "Winxp" and whatever CD SW it comes with.
I would guess it has "Easy CD Creator". Look for "raw mode" or something
like that in the documentation or help files.

IIRC, instructions on how to burn parisc CD's with CD Creator have
been posted to parisc-linux (or debian-hppa) before.

=> Can u pls provide me the url for this.. 

Right now i'm Re- Downloading the Image 
debian-30r2-hppa-binary-1 ( Easy CD creator Image File) 
debian-30r2-hppa-binary-1_NONUS ( Easy CD creator Image File)
Letme see how it goes.. 

Thanks YOU all One again :_)

Asif

Hi Asif,

>To start with. 
>o I Had downloaded the iso image from  ftp.de.debian.org/debian-cd/3.0_r0/hppa
>
Ok (I used successfully the same from same site recently :) )

>o Used a Winxp to write a CD!! 

I know well it as an OS is it also the name of your burning tool?
If not could you give its name and release (iirc some tools wasn't able to
do before a given release)

>o I did Search ipl from teh main menu itdid'nt  show the cdrom as an ipl
device.

severall pb are possible: 
* the most common one is that the cd was not burn with correct options (see
your cd burning tool user guide)
* your image file could be corrupted (iirc there was also a md5sums file
which allow you to check the integrity of this image) 
* the type of the cdrom drive you used to boot (is it a hp buildin?) couldn't
allow you to boot. Could boot with an hpux install CD?

>o I tried booting hte CD rom as well but to no luck.. 
>o IT's on a A500 (9000/800/A500-44)

>I wonder wat's wrong with my cd !! 

hth,
