List-ID: Hello HP hackers ! I have beside the HP apollo 700 series (9000/720) a server machine, the HP E55 (model 9000/856). As far as I saw on the hardware page of the puffin group, the SCSI controller and the multi-port serial is not supported. Is this really so ? Is there a solution for that ? I also want to cantact HP for documentation. Is there a possibility to use the PDC console as system console. Now the kernel says Switching from PDC console and no further output is there, as the PDC console runs on the port-0 of the serial multi-port board. If I can continue to use the PDC console, I can perhaps try to boot NFS !
