 |
|
hi folks,
i have a ds20l (its a slightly modified ds20e afaik in a 1u rack mount case). i want to install gentoo but i have the problem, that no graphiccard is installed in this baby, so i have to install via serial console.
at this point the problem starts: i have to boot via SRM and tried
and
for kernel 2.4 but everytime its the same result:
| Code: | P00>>>show device
dka0.0.0.3.0 DKA0 COMPAQ BD0186459A B010
dqb0.0.1.16.0 DQB0 CD-224E A.8D
eia0.0.0.3.1 EIA0 00-02-56-00-26-CD
eib0.0.0.4.0 EIB0 00-02-56-00-26-CC
pka0.7.0.3.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7
P00>>>boot dqb0 -flags 1
(boot dqb0.0.1.16.0 -flags 1)
block 0 of dqb0.0.1.16.0 is a valid boot block
reading 170 blocks from dqb0.0.1.16.0
bootstrap code read in
base = 200000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 15400(87040)
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 3ff46000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
aboot: Linux/Alpha SRM bootloader version 0.9bpre
aboot: switching to OSF/1 PALcode version 1.91
aboot: booting from device 'IDE 0 16 1 0 0 0 0'
aboot: no disklabel found.
iso: Max size:32848 Log zone size:2048
iso: First datazone:36 Root inode number 73728
aboot: loading uncompressed /boot/gentoo2.4...
aboot: loading compressed /boot/gentoo2.4...
aboot: zero-filling 662824 bytes at 0xfffffc000084a5e0
aboot: loading initrd (2239361 bytes/2186 blocks) at 0xfffffc007fc16000
aboot: starting kernel /boot/gentoo2.4 with arguments root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs cdroot |
now my question is, how can i tell the kernel, it should use ttys0 as default console, coz the boot-process seems to end at this point 
thx stefan

You need to append console=/dev/ttyS0 to your kernel arguments. You do this by booting in interactive mode.
I don't have my alpha in front of me at the moment, so bear with me.
Aboot should come up interactively and not immediatly jump to loading the kernel. You should be able to at this point issue the following:
| Code: | | b /boot/gentoo2.4 console=/dev/ttyS0 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs cdroot |
Your kernel arguments may not be exactly like this, I simply took them from your post. |
