Folks, |
| 2 |

| 3 |
I'm trying to install 2.6.16.1-pa4-livecd32 on an HP |
| 4 |
D360 box with a serial console. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I first tried booting with all palo settings as |
| 7 |
default. i.e. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Information: No console specified on kernel command |
| 10 |
line. This is normal. |
| 11 |
PALO will choose the console currently used by |
| 12 |
firmware (serial).Current command |
| 13 |
line: |
| 14 |
0/vmlinux initrd=initrd TERM=linux root=/dev/ram0 |
| 15 |
init=/linuxrc cdroot looptype= |
| 16 |
squashfs loop=/image.squashfs hda=scsi hdb=scsi |
| 17 |
console=ttyB0 |
| 18 |
0: 0/vmlinux |
| 19 |
1: initrd=initrd |
| 20 |
2: TERM=linux |
| 21 |
3: root=/dev/ram0 |
| 22 |
4: init=/linuxrc |
| 23 |
5: cdroot |
| 24 |
6: looptype=squashfs |
| 25 |
7: loop=/image.squashfs |
| 26 |
8: hda=scsi |
| 27 |
9: hdb=scsi |
| 28 |
10: console=ttyB0 |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
<#> edit the numbered field |
| 31 |
'b' boot with this command line |
| 32 |
'r' restore command line |
| 33 |
'l' list dir |
| 34 |
? 0 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
It boots OK, but then the console seems to get messed |
| 37 |
up. (It's OK until login stage). Sometimes characters |
| 38 |
don't echo, line feeds are all over the place, and the |
| 39 |
prompts are really irratic - it's like a getty is |
| 40 |
sharing the same console as a shell. :o/ |

I then tried booting with palo option 10 deleted. (No |
| 72 |
console option in boot command). This time I got a |
| 73 |
stable console prompt, but it now wants a login and I |
| 74 |
don't have the password. I see on a PC platform the |
| 75 |
user has to ctrl-alt-F1 to another console and use |
| 76 |
passwd to set the root password, but I can't do that |
| 77 |
in this case. |
