A) It definitelly does not. You either need to find the config file
from the CD or something else.
B) forget kernel.org. parisc tree is at cvs.parisc-linux.org or
ftp.parisc-linux.org (nightly cvs snapshots). parisc isn't
fully merged back into linus's tree.

Looking arch/parisc/defconfig:
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_STI=y
you just ahd the wrong source tree.

It fixes alot more than just that.
I believe 2.1 is the original firmware shipped with the machine.
6.1 *will* disable PCI if anything other than an HP PCI grapchis
card is plugged into a PCI slot *and* you have an "old" Dino.

Yes. But you can do it via LAN/bootp too.
Boot the update image just a a kernel image as described
in previous emails to this list (eg NFS root).
