OK, this was a really stupid question, I must admit. I simply forget that it now only takes some minutes (in this case seconds) to build a new lifimage and test it. So here are the results of testing the various ramdisk images at ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/ramdisks/ on my 715/33: Version sash prompt mount -t proc proc /proc ------------------------------------------------------- 19991108 yes does not work 20000118 yes works with error message 20000118a no - 20000129 no - 20000217 yes works Version 20000118a hangs after the message "No such device" because of a missing network driver, Version 20000129 ends with a kernel protection fault. Maybe these results are of some interest to people with older machines. Thanks to Philipp for his quick reply about the forthcoming improvements for 715/old (that's a good model name !).
