Since yesterday i'm the owner of a HP 712/80 and i've searched along the net to find an OS which is able to run on this box. When i found palinux i downloaded the palinux-0.5.iso. But the booting process doesn't seem to be successful. In the readme it says that i should get a login prompt...but i don't get the prompt. The system stops when saying: "Switching from PDC console" Thats all. I have a 12x Plextor cdrom booting from scsi-id 6. I also tried to boot it from scsi-id 0. The same problem. The system has 32MB RAM and Boot Rom Version 1.6. Is that perhaps a too old Boot Rom? I read that it is updateable but cannot find an updated version on the HP homepage or somewhere else. Can someone tell me where i can get an update? I would give you the complete dmesg but i don't know how to get it out of that box...since i cannot do anything. Any idea if what is wrong with that box? Regards Jens
