[parisc-linux] HP9000 K200

Hi!

I have a K200 wich I'm trying to install Linux on, is this even supported?
Whan I try the palinux-cd it dies a horrible death just after the ramdrive
is uncompressed. If I try the lifiimage from the ftp it dies after the
serial-driver is started, seems to be the same problem as on the cd.
When I try my "home-compiled" kernel it dies directly.. :(

So if anyone run linux on a K200, could they please help me, I really
don't wanna run HP-UX on this one =)


bootlog:
http://ariana.eagle.y.se/~mathew/hp9000_boot.txt

Hardware:
2x CPU
256 MB ram
no HP-BA cards on it at the moment.

The newest, I guess, the one from the parisc-linux.org site.
