It's the first HP-branded model we've had so far (previously all Compaq branded). It has 1Gb of memory and a couple of drives on the on-board SCSI controller (setup for mirroring in the SCSI bios). No SMP is setup right now (doesn't get far enough to do anything with it!). In any case, this happens on boxes with a single processor. The bootstrap fails - appears to get as far as starting the FICL interpreter and then dumps the register contents to console and stops. A screen dump of the console (from ilo/lightsout/rsc) is at http://www.flirble.org/chrisy/images/Random/DL360G3.jpg It does exactly this booting from floppy or cdrom, on STABLE, CURRENT and various flavours of 4.x-RELEASE. The dump was from a 4.8 boot floppy. I've had no joy trying to work out where the eip pointed to in the code at the point of departure. Does anybody have any ideas? Linux succeeds in booting, and is what this machine is now running. There's no obvious tweaks in the BIOS config that seem relevant, but we did for instance disable PXE everywhere and tweaked most other things in vain hope. Disabling the on-board SCSI doesn't help either. Regards, Chris. -- == chrisy@flix.net
