I was thinking that maybe there was a byte order probelm in the boot image generation tools. I get pretty much the same thing though, the parisc box just dies without even entering the IPL code. It's time to start digging deeper. If someone else wants look over the boot code in the kernel, it'd be appreciated. I'm sure it's a simple mistake. The gist of it is this: - Jason's existing prebuilt bootstrap binary does work - my copy of his code with some build scripts used to generate a bootstrap does not - Alex
