Hi Guys, I'm trying to install linux-mips on a DECsation 5000/240 I have in my posession. It has the 5.1b rom so tftp boot is apparently out. I've setup mopd on a linux (i386) box here and I'm getting the following on my DECstation: >>boot 3/mop ??? ? PC: 0xa0010aa4<vtr=UTLBM> ? CR: 0x8000200c<BD,CE=0,IP6,EXC=TLBS> ? SR: 0x30080000<CU1,CU0,CM,IPL=8> ? VA: 0x1000 ? ER: 0xe7d43000<VALID,CPU,WRITE,ADR=1F50C000> ? CK: 0xef00ffe2<VLDHI,CHKHI=6F,SYNHI=0,VLDLO,CHKLO=7F,SNGLO,SYNLO=62> >> In /var/log/messages I'm seeing: Jul 13 15:44:36 phoenix mopd[10437]: 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 (1) Do you have 08002b2afec0? (Yes) Jul 13 15:44:36 phoenix mopd[10437]: 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Send me 08002b2afec0 and using moptrace I get the following: Dst : ab:0:0:1:0:0 MOP Dump/Load Multicast Src : 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Proto : 6001 MOP Dump/Load Length : 000b (11) Code : 08 Request program Device Type : 76 MNE '3MIN (KN02-BA)' Format : 01 Program Type : 02 Operating System Software : 00 '' Processor : 00 System Processor DL Buff Size : 041c (1052) Dst : ab:0:0:2:0:0 MOP Remote Console Multicast Src : 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Proto : 6002 MOP Remote Console Length : 001c (28) Code : 07 System ID Reserved : 00 Receipt Nbr : 0000 Hardware Addr: 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Maint Version: 3.0.0 Maint Funcion: 004b ( Loop Dump MLdr DLC ) Comm Device : 76 MNE '3MIN (KN02-BA)' Dst : 0:80:ad:72:e3:6f Src : 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Proto : 6001 MOP Dump/Load Length : 000b (11) Code : 08 Request program Device Type : 76 MNE '3MIN (KN02-BA)' Format : 01 Program Type : 02 Operating System Software : 00 '' Processor : 00 System Processor DL Buff Size : 041c (1052) Dst : 0:80:ad:72:e3:6f Src : 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Proto : 6001 MOP Dump/Load Length : 0002 (2) Code : 0a Request memory load Load Number : 01 Error : 00 (no error) Dst : 0:80:ad:72:e3:6f Src : 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Proto : 6001 MOP Dump/Load Length : 0002 (2) Code : 0a Request memory load Load Number : 02 Error : 00 (no error) Dst : 0:80:ad:72:e3:6f Src : 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Proto : 6001 MOP Dump/Load Length : 0002 (2) Code : 0a Request memory load Load Number : 03 Error : 00 (no error) I've tried with both the ecoff and the elf kernels (2.4.18) listed on Karel's web pages. I was wondering if anyone on the list has had any success installing via MOP onto a DECstation 5000/240 and would be able to offer me any assistance. Cheers, Collin Baillie
