Having said that, I bet this is the same problem as FAQ 9: I'm booting parisc linux on an early Series 700 workstation, and the machine hangs after printing: ASP version 1 at ..... found What's going on? This was a bug in the parallel port driver, which was fixed in CVS on 2000-11-29. You can workaround the problem by using a newer kernel or by reconfiguring your kernel and removing support for the parallel port (CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC). But... there's no Lasi in an E-class. Something's wrong with our detection routines, perhaps. I admit to being curious about the `Core Lan' that's reported -- maybe it'll work. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support.
