Huge grats to all the kernel/debian hackers! I have a few questions, though. When I insert a PCI card, I get the dreaded firmware halt. The serial number on this box is low enough that it could have PCI bugs that I've read about on the net. Is this still repairable? Can it be worked around in software/ firmware? (Firmware 5.2, FWIW) I'm assuming that not only is the original warranty long expired, that it wouldn't have transferred anyways. I have a request in to HP support, I was just curious if this has been encountered by anyone here before/recently. I apologize that this is not directly Linux-related. This seems to be the most active group working on machines near this vintage, and I fear HP may reject my request for support based on not running HP-UX. Thanks for any input! (And thanks again for a smashing job on the arch port. I've got sparc, mips, powerpc, and ia32 all lying around the house, and I must say the hppa install was the cleanest yet.) BTW-Probably a FAQ and not that I intend to run it any time soon, but how mature is the 64-bit in 32-bit firmware configuration? Does it require a slightly different toolchain, or does binutils-hppa build 32 and 64-bit without a hitch? -- chris jantzen kb7rnl =-> __O Insert witty comment here. _`\<,_ http://www.maybe.net/ (*)/ (*)
