RE: [parisc-linux] NIC & "searching for devices"
Thanks Thibaut,
However, I have been unable to upgrade to 2.6. The image in unstable,
2.6.8-2-32-smp requires initrd. Fair enough, but nothing I have tried works.
I get tripped up on the root= statement (I have sent mail on this). I've
been searching for days now for a simple cookbook on upgrading from 2.4 to
2.6 and I can't find one. If you could please point me to a document that
goes through the process of upgrading from 2.4 to 2.6, I would really
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Harry Cochran

The correct answer is "use 2.6". Recent parisc workstations aren't
supported in 2.4
