You sent this uname -a: Linux datatek 2.6.12-1-parisc #1 Tue Sep 27 10:16:14 UTC 2005 parisc Which is for the Beta1 version of debian installer. > Could you give me some tips to install ? First of all note that HPPA currently is not installable for Etch or unstable. If you are using the Etch Beta1 or daily images, this explains errors during base system installation. This only recently became clear to us and is now documented on: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstallerToday The only real error I can find in your report is: >> Creating ext3 file system for / in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,5,0) >> (sda)...Kernel panic: drivers/parisc/ccio-dma.c: ccio_alloc_range() I/O >> MMU is out of mapping resources. >> In interrupt handler - not syncing Do you get this same error with all versions of the installer, or does it fail at different points? There are currently 3 different kernel versions available: Sarge installer: 2.6.8 Etch Beta1 installer: 2.6.12 Daily builds: 2.6.14 (should change to 2.6.15 soon) If the error is the same for all these versions, it looks to me like the kernel just does not support your hardware. I that case we cannot help you and your best option is probably to ask for help on the debian-hppa mailing list. If the errors are different, you will need to provide more information and when you do, make it very clear what information goes with which version of the installer, for example by creating a separate installation report for each version. Be very clear at what stage of the installation the failure occurred (the title of the last dialog or progress bar before the failure for example). We can only help if either the problem is fairly obvious or a known error, or if you provide information detailed enough to narrow down the problem. The part of the log you provided in your initial report is not very informative: it just shows you selecting different options from the installation menu, probably _after_ the real error occurred. Please attach the full log file next time (as a gzipped attachment). Note that it is extremely unlikely that we can fix any structural problems in the Sarge or Etch Beta1 versions of kernel or the installer. We can only hope to fix structural problems in the current versions of kernel and installer. Note also that the Debian Installer people are not HPPA or kernel experts. Cheers, FJP P.S. Please follow up to the bug report next time and not to me privately!
