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. > Looked at the .config file afterwards.

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. > As soon as I get a blank tape, I'll upgrade the firmware (scary > process!). 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). (Archive is at lists.parisc-linux.org) grant
