I am still battling with being able to boot a custom built kernel, but I haven't noticed any problems when running the stock kernel and unstable distribution. It has been suggested to keep a version of gcc-3.0 around (gcc-3.2 gets installed w/ sid ) and perhaps use that to build your kernels. I am not sure is this is a requirement any longer. aaron In another life Jan-Benedict Glaw wrote: > Hi! > > These days, I got a B132L, downloaded some ISO image from a near debian > mirror and booted the box (after reading the palo boot howto:-) > > Well, installing a HPPA box seems to be nothing harder than installing > any other alpha/mips(el)/... .
