I'm not sure whether the Debian install CD will work on a multi-CPU box. You can try unplugging all but the first CPU and see if that makes a difference. Also, you may have to add "console=ttyB0" or somesuch to PALO's boot line -- the K classes (and perhaps a few other boxes) have very different serial hardware. Oh wait, I see you have it already. Sorry this is a bit vague; I run Gentoo and it was very simple to boot the install CD. So if you hit a dead-end, you might give it a try. Good luck, Andrew _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list [email protected] http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
