I'm an old dog ...a.k.a. z80 days (8 bit)...so I'm not a kernel hacker, and don't want to be, but I can write code if I'm absolutely forced to ( takes lot time learn the machines heart and soul...got past that with my commodore 64 and a few others) ..I have 20-9 gig drives on this machine that I would like to use for web page serving in the company,ftp ...mostly me...and inter-company and file storage/backup,email..possibly other stuff...like process control...maybe point of sale....the thing is this size company and the price we got the machine for cant beat it..this will be a perfect platform ( linux) and the hardware and software too is cheap ..LOL deliver us from evil...a.k.a. windows.

Welcome, I am the same old dog so I try to contribute with test as relevant as possible to help hackers as afar as I can ;)

umm we had in production some K4x0 (3 or 4) running hpux 10.20 without pb even with fc addon card on core io ;). (unfortunately I 
don't have time to take the opportunity to test linux with this box ;( )

Unfortunately the woody cd 3.0r2 was not well tested and there are many reports of install failure.
So generally it is recommended to try the new sarge debian-install netinstall-cd available at:
<http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/hppa/current/sarge-hppa-netinst.iso>

or the previous netinstall cd:
<http://www.pateam.org/cd-images/testing/>

And the FAQ page: <http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html> explain in detail how to burn, check and boot your cd ;)
(iirc there are also special recommandation for K model and ttyB0 aka pdc_console usage)

> this is the site that does this...I need help, you guys need an idiots guide to what works on a k box ( LOL or any  box)....bad joke.....what version etc.....hell I took 2 hours tonight for I found a doc that said the PDC isn't in the file name anymore.

umm iirc CODE26 is a data page fault (new kernels available on sarge and pateam iso are more recent so certainly fix the pb?)

hth,
