[parisc-linux] 715/80 not booting (kernel crashes)

[S Looman]

Hi,

Just got a 715/80 box from a friend and started playing with it, but HP-UX 
sucks and wanted to install linux on it.
I downloaded the iso-image yesterday and booted it.

The cd boots, starts loading the kernel 'n stuff. But then it panics.

It has the same dump as this email: 
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2001-July/013193.html

I guess using another kernel should fix it, but I can't build any kernel...

Can anybody give me a kernel (or suggestions)?

Thx,

Steven

PS.
Sorry for using hotmail

It is very unlikely that you get the same dump as that mail reported,
as that was froma 2.4.6 kernel, while the ISO uses a 2.4.0 one.

Are you using a serial or graphical console?  Serial console is more
likely to work, and has the advantage that you can capture the output
(with minicom, for example), to post here.

Which ISO are you using?  0.9 or 0.9.2?
