[parisc-linux] Common Console Problem booting HP C3000 From CD-Rom

[Adam Parrish]

Good Day,

I am attempting to load Debian on a good many of our C3000 Visualize
workstation per user request. Unfortunately I am stumbling upon a
"Common Error" while booting. 

When booting without altering any of the boot options from the pdl I get
a High Priority Machine Check error:

(HPMC): Code=1 regs=102F3080 (ADDR = 00000000) 

When using the 64 bit version by editing line 0 to have vmlinuz64 on it
so that it boots the 64 bit kernel I get the error that I need to switch
the console. 

I have tried multiple consoles but am unable to get it to show me the
linux interactive boot screen. The LCD on the front of my computer leads
me to believe that the kernel booted though since it says Linux 2.4.17. 

I have skimmed the Mailing List and I apologize if this is a repeat,
although none of the messages I read reflected my problem or the
solution. 

Any help or suggestion in debugging this problem would be greatly
appreciated. 

Thanks and Regards,
