I'm helping get IDE-CDOM working and I have also started work on getting the built-in narrow scsi working (sym53c8xx driver needs to make a PDC GET_INITIATOR call). > I attempted to compile todats kernel on the machine and I did it as > Im used to do (make oldconfig, make dep, make palo) > That kernel refuses to boot: To debug problems like this, enable EARLY_BOOTUP_DEBUG in arch/parisc/kernel/pdc_cons.c. We also need you to keep the matching System.map and look up where IOAQ and GR02 point to in the kernel. Use "build-tools/a.c" to help do the look ups. I've copied kernels for c3k (32-bit) and a500 (64-bit) to my ftp server. I've stripped out stuff neither needs from their respective .config: ftp://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/pub/a500 and ftp://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/pub/c3000 DISCLAIMER: I don't guarantee these kernels will work for anyone for any purpose or that they are "clean" builds (ie may have custom changes). Just providing them as a convience. If something is missing from the respective .config that you think I should include, feel free to ask for it. I might include it. ;^) ... > The LCD is also Nice :) It reads: > > FLT CBFB4.9-pa57 > 785/B2000 CBFB is the "chassis code" for the fault. Don't recall what that means but it's documented someplace. The "785/B2000" is written by firmware. Kudos to Helge/Randolph for the code that writes the top line. It is cool! grant
