You can follow this link to get some hints for the graphics card
http://parisc-linux.org/faq/graphics-howto.htmlWhat graphic card do you have?
X doesn't work on FX graphics cards. I have the visualize EG/PCI and X works fine. I cheaply bought it on internet
The kernel of woody (2.4.17) does not support usb mouse and keyboard, you need to install a recent kernel. .. For example I have installed the kernel-image 2.4..24 . Take a look to the parisc boot howto I use it to install debian on my c3k. It is really helpfull!!!
the ide cd rom is not supported from debian. You have to use an external scsi cd drive to use your cd set.
