I did not see an option to activate it in 2.2.17 (and this time I looked),
but I found the driver. Ah, the driver is automatically included when HP300
is activated?

  if [ "$CONFIG_MAC" = "y" ]; then
    bool 'Apple "valkyrie" display support' CONFIG_FB_VALKYRIE
#    bool 'Apple DAFB display support' CONFIG_FB_DAFB
    define_bool CONFIG_FB_MAC y
  fi
  if [ "$CONFIG_HP300" = "y" ]; then
    define_bool CONFIG_FB_HP300 y
  fi

Is that special rbootd available? For debian? Could it be used on the Debian
CDs?

Nor SCSI neihter ID support, HP does not use harddisks or what? Or do you
mean the drivers are not yet ready? Quite useless to try building
kernel-images then (unless you do everything via the network)?
 
Maybe we should try to aquire some supported machines for Ben and others. Or
ship Sven's A1k2... btw, can somebody recommend a company, which ships
reliably, fast, (and cheap) computers (like my A2k) from europe/germany to the
US/eastcoast?
