Dear sirs!
Our office in 1996 buy HP9000(D-class) with hot-swap hdd, but now we have some problem with software for this system.
I try to install PA-RISK Linux from bootable CDROM (I get iso-image via your FTP-site).
But after some minutes, I see next mesagge - Kernel Faults - code 15, regs - c9fe8840 (addr = f6632087),
and system stopped. 
  Could not you suggest, where I can find iso-image bootable CDROM with PA-RISK Linux for HP9000 (d-class)?
Best regards,

Gorbunov,
You need to read the "fine print" before jumping in with both feet.
See http://www.parisc-linux.org/hardware/index.html and our FAQ
at http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html.

Which version of the ISO image did you get?

We (HP) have not made any effort to support parisc-servers other than A180,
A500, and L2000. However, much of the technology in D and K-class systems 
is the same as what's in workstations of the same generation. Nearly all
of the older workstations are supported to some degree.

If you (or anyone else) has patches to support D or K-class machines, I'll
help review and integrate them since they are most likely going to be IO
related.
