I though too but seems to cause a problem with pci-ide cdrom?

IMHO it doesn't matter, as mentionned in previous mail, the system hang
very earlier at 'Search devices ...' step and the cdrom green led stay co=
ntiniously
light. Even TOC (I try it to get a piminfo) doesn't work at this stage.
Additionally, on a another b180 the problem doesn't occurs with the same
kernel?

Yes usual serial console works fine for this model.
In fact the first goal was not to test PDC console but it was to test the=

basic config files suggested in arch/parisc/debian-configs (32 bits becau=
se
I test it in parallel on a 180).
AFAIK it is the config used to build install CD and network boot lifimage=
?
So, in case of problem (test corrupting system, disk broken, ...) and for=

the newbies, I would be sure that config is also relevant to (re-)build
_quickly_ a system of this model.

Thanks for your attention and advises (it will be usefull for futur test)=
.

Merry Christmas,
    Joel

PS: For 32 bit release UP release, I also find strange that DEBUG SPINLOC=

option was selected and selectable. I was also convinced that it had only=

matter with SMP config?

[parisc-linux] PCMCIA network card on 712

[Tim Kemna]

Hi,

I'd like to have a 2nd network card on my 712/80. I know there is a normal
expansion card from HP, but they are hard to get.
Someone told me it's also possible to use a PCMCIA netword card. Is that
true and does anyone ever tried that?

Greetings,
Tim

Hah! That "someone" is joking with you.
I'm thinking PCI-PCMCIA Bridge/adapter card would be required and
712 has no PCI slots.
