It is an hp9000 model 720. And here the problem starts - on some websites is stated that pa-risc linux will never work on 720's on some other sites i can read it does ! Maybe it depends - but on what ? So i took the 0.9.2 iso-image from www.parisc-linux.org and tried an installation. After switching to serial console i could see the kernel coming up until it has to start "init" - than it loops forever with handle_interruption() pid=1 command='init' On the list archive i found, that some other people had the same problem, even with 720 models. But i could not find a solution which works for me. If there is one , could you please tell me where to RTFM ? Here are some hardware infos : Found devices: 1.
