With this version of the firmware you have to request the specific PIM, HPMC, LPMC, TOC. Anyway I got the the TOC information for both processors after I tried to boot my kernel. It is all on that page ( http://hadron.dyndns.org/parisc/ ) I also added a link to the firmware. I am running 2.0 of the firmware and according to hp the most recent is 2.1 or : Patch Name: /firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CJ224021 Description: HP 9000 Model J2240 firmware 2.1 patch Date : 00/10/06 I will start popping stuff out of the kernel, although I am sure I took out all of the stuff wrt graphics. Another try for persistance sake wont hurt :) As far as the palo message, i only started noticing it when I went to v1.2 of palo. One thing I should note, when I set up / i made it ext3, boot is off of / and not its own fs so when i realized what i did I just changed fstab accordingly so it would mount as ext2, although that couldn't be the problem either since it is loading the debian kernels. Perhaps sleep is in order ? :) In another life Grant Grundler wrote: > On Mon, Feb 03, 2003 at 12:33:36AM -0500, Aaron St. Pierre wrote: > > I setup a page with all of the information from the "basics" section > > of the faq.
