Well, if you really end up with the equivalent to an rp2470, then I can assure you there is a kernel out there that will work since that's what several developers are using (including myself). > Can anyone shed light on this? I suspect the rp2430 PDC simply doesn't report one (or two) of the PCI bus controllers. Neither HPUX nor parisc-linux will see those slots. Very simple to implement and requires no HW changes. grant
