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)/... . So: Thanks for all the nice work!
Another question remains for me: is it currently "safe" to dist-upgrade
woody -> sid? Or are there some servere breakages? I do use sid on quite
a number of boxes (with no problems), but there might be hppa specific
pitfalls...
MfG, JBG

I have a J2240 and was able to dist-upgrade to sid without a problem. 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.

There were two patches installed in the 3.2 branch last weekend to address
the kernel miscompilation. They are in 3.2.2 released this week. The main
problem was fixed in 3.3 and the main by a series of patches installed in
the later half of 2002.
Randolph Chung and Grant Grundler reduced the problems to simple testcases.
Eric Botcazou diagnosed both problems. Eric and Franz Sirl determined the
patch set needed. Randolph, Franz and myself helped with testing.
It was quite an intensive bit of work resolving this problem and getting
it into 3.2.2. All those who participated deserve a vote of thanks.

I agree. I was very impressed to see the amount of work Randolph & Grant
had done when I got back. While I'm not particularly familiar with GCC
development, I understand the pain of trying to separate out relevant
patches from a few months of development work and backporting them.
Well done to all involved, particularly given the 2 days they had to
accomplish this feat.

More over when I think that I track this problem for about a year and I am
not even able to locate it accurately to make this work easier earlier.
Once again, congratulation and thanks to all for this great job,
Joel
