That a better explanation ;) (afaik there are some changes from 2.4 to 2.6 driver's implementation and also some paper about the subject, I will see) >I have never tested a 2.6 kernel on a HP. Another question: I also try it with 2.4 (32 or 64 bit kernel) running on a b2k. But this b2k is equiped with an ide cdrom and when I try to boot a kernel with builtin pdc driver (2.4 and 2.6), the boot process hung (the green led of the cdrom stay continuously bright, so it seems a pb of initialization in the pdc_console driver?. This pb also occurs even if I unplug the cdrom-drive or remove ide-cdrom driver from kernels. otc kernels boot well with builtin ide-cdrom driver without pdc_console driver) Any other idea?
