Haven't had time to test the newest kernel yet. I suggest you check the parisc-linux archives. I was quite verbal in my quest to get my 720/50 going. :-) Basically, I did the following: 1. Enable the serial console 2. Create a new nfsroot by hacking the debootstrap scripts on my i386. I had to use some special debs here, but I believe they are now in unstable. 3. Cross-compile the latest kernel using xc-latest, and make a lifimage with palo. 4. Netboot the lifimage with bootpd/rbootd and mount the nfsroot created in step 2 read-write. 5. fdisk and mke2fs the partitions (remember the partition for palo!) I wanted to install on. 6. Manually walk through the debootstrap and install all the packages I required on the new mounted partition (you use a chroot sometimes). 7. Install palo. 8. Reboot. apt-get update. apt-get upgrade. Or you could just wait for the 0.9.3 ISO which is out/will be out shortly.
