That's more likely a driver bug. Look at my kernel config files
on ftp.parisc.org/kernels for a500 or c3000. I'm using kernel modules
for anything that's not needed for booting. Notably acenic driver
and netfilter (eg firewall using iptables).

The only bug is I can't "depmod" modules for 32-bit kernels built with
CONFIG_PA20. "type 74" reloc fails. Not sure where to file this bug.
