[parisc-linux] B180 boot problem

[Herb Radford]

I have a B180 machine which was loaded with a version of linux back in 1993.
I'm trying to start fresh and tried to boot the 3.1r2 cd 
"debian-hppa-binary-1.iso" to install.
I consistently get a mangled message just above the tux on the boot 
screen which says something to the effect:

Kernel panic: Kernel Fault4/0xb0cr31:10....., IRQ sharing enabled

I have tried various burns at various speed of the same cd with the 
same results.
I have interacted with the IPL and tried setting some variations on a 
"sensible" set of parameters to pass to the kernel.
When I clear ALL the entries to be passed to the kernel, I get an 
unable to mount root message so I started adding some root and initrd 
items to the parameters.
I just can't find the correct parameters to allow the box to boot!

What is/are the correct set of parameters to be passed to the kernel?

Regards, Herb
