I am not quite sure, but I think you need to set the
Keyboard Path to the same value as Console Path when
you use a serial console (or PC).

I wondered about that...

How can I reset the Keyboard Path without being able to interrupt the
boot sequence though?

Disconnect the primary/secondary boot devices?
If autosearch is on, might have to disconnect all bootable devices.
One should land at the PDC prompt once all paths/search have been tried.

[parisc-linux] EISA 10/100 nic for 715 systems ?

[Ed June]

Were there ever any EISA 10/100 LAN cards for 715 systems?
I have found straight 10's and 100's, but not a switching one.

FWIW i have two 735 with 10/100 EISA cards.  I could look up the
HP P/N if you want, since i imagine the should work with 715 as
well.

At my previous job, I had a spare EISA 10/100 card originally out of a
B160 that I used in my 715/100.

Either the cards or HP-UX was kind of weird about switching between 10
and 100.  I think I only got that card to talk 100 with a particular
brand of switch, and that was only when I forced the switch to 100
half duplex.  (The PCI cards did the same thing, but a kernel patch
for 10.20 released late last year seemed to fix autonegotiation.)

Same experience here: the 735 happily negotiated full duplex without
actually doing it.  Problem solved by forcing switch port to halfduplex
and shifting all esential services over to the Linux servers...

There was an EISA card for the S700's, I think that it was
actually OEM'd from Interphase.

The EISA card was definitely only half-duplex and generally not 
considered a good performer.

The PCI and GSC cards are totally different beasts...

The "newer" 715s (64/80/100, iirc) have a GSC slot and can take
a "EISA Form Factor" 100BT card based on Tulip. This card has
the GSCtoPCI bus converter on board and the Tulip driver (btlan4)
basically only talks to the PCI device.
