You may also download the ISO image file from debian OS (hppa) download site & create a CD using Nero & try booting.

The CD media or drive also may be defect.

Torsten,

Thanks. Where can I get it? Google gives no results:(

That's what is said about rp on pateam.org list of machines with PA-RISC linux proven working:

Running two CPUs (4 cores) is currently very buggy on that box, but it behaves a bit better when one CPU (2 cores) is deconfigured at boot time, or when running a UP kernel. Still, it is probably experiencing some cache troubles as well. As it is certainly not yet deemed to be "operational", we cannot tell it "works".

Subramaniyan.S,

Thanks for the links.
I tried to boot from a Debian-hppa CD to begin with, as it's my goal - to install that system on the rp3440:)

The CD itself is OK (tested), but it may be the DVD-rom in the HP 9000 that is not working.

Hi Margo,

I heard it before (I mean Linux on PA-RISC) but like Pete already wrote "I do not see ANY rp machines at all" on parisc-linux site between supported platforms. Even if you can install it (and I hope that for you) I don't know what you can do more than some commands.

By the way good luck....

Best regards,
Fabio

PS: no points for me here in any case... :)
