It doesn't even makes sense to debug this kernel any longer, which is why I said you should update to latest debian unstable (and it's written in the installation wiki as well). You have to keep in mind, that the parisc linux port was really nearly stopped when I built this install CD. Since then we have fixed an uncountable number of bugs. So, please update all packages including kernel, glibc and so on. If you face problems then, please let us know. > I'm attaching the full set of booting message. > > Probably you have a more recent kernel because AFTER the installation > you have updated the full distro with more recent packages. > Unfortunately, with this configuration, I can't boot. > I would like to avoid the de-installation of the second processor. You could try to boot with the "nosmp" kernel option (add it at the IPL prompt). Probably "autofs=off" (not sure if this is the syntax) could work as well (if you think it's the autofs module). If you have booted up, update kernel and packages.
