To answer my own question, it appears that it is not. The code in drivers/parisc/led.c appears to suggest: /* flash heartbeat-LED like a real heart (2 x short then a longdelay) */ I've tried upgrading to the latest sid parisc kernel (2.6.10-1-32-smp), and the problem is still the same. The heart symbol does occasionally change state, but it certainly doesn't beat like a real one, or anything like it. The other thing is that the kernel version which is displayed on the lcd by default is overwritten partly by a: INI CC01 It's not a huge issue for me, as I can overwrite it again by echo'ing my message into /proc/pdc/lcd post boot. Is it possible to make the write to the display later in the boot process, so it occurs after the INI CC01 is printed? (Incidentally, the INI CC01 is only on the screen - /proc/pdc/led returns the normal kernel version - I assume this is because the message was printed by the hardware, itself?)
