Carlos, I've forwarded your e-mail to our mailing list since I'm not
the expert on 715 hardware.  You might also want to read through the
FAQ and other things on our web site, www.parisc-linux.org.

The CD is pretty old and I suspect you'll have better luck with a
newer kernel.  We are planning to produce a "0.6" ISO image Real
Soon Now (tm).  Alternatively you can get a newer kernel
from puffin.external.hp.com and boot from that kernel using either
a bootp server to serve it to the 715, or DAT tape if you happen
to have that.  Use the Linux kernel command line to indicate the
0.5 CD is its root (root=/dev/scd0).
