I would recommend getting the latest kernel source from
cvs.paris-linux.org and compiling a new kernel with STI
fbdev enabled.
http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/
Make sure that the following is in your ~/.cvsrc
cvs -z3 -q
diff -uNp
update -Pd
remove -f
And then...
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.parisc-linux.org:/var/cvs
cvs co linux palo
cd linux
make oldconfig
make menuconfig (enable fbdev and all the goodies you need)
... munge ./palo/Makefile for any custom parameters to your kernel
make dep
make palo
Then boot ./palo/lifimage :)
c.
