Can you capture send console output?
If not, don't worry about it...
I don't understand why the core 100BT wouldn't work.
Very likely some issue with the media table.

BTW, did you try the "linux26" option in the debian installer?
ISTR there being an option to use a 2.6 kernel instead.
You might have better luck with that.

You might try adding in different 100BT card and using that
until you can install an upgraded/newer kernel.
DEC21143 (tulip) and Intel 8255x (eepro100) are known to
work under parisc linux in general.
