Probably not.
Your main problem is that you see this message:
STI GSC/PCI core graphics driver Version 0.9a
id 2bcb015a-9a02587, conforms to spec rev. 8.04
STI init_graph failed (ret -1, errno 258)
sti: probe of 10:8 failed with error 1
"init_graph" is a graphic card firmware function, which seems to not work on your system.
Some HP firmwares have support to "patch" the graphic card firmware before executing "init_graph".
This is probably not the case for your c200.
So, please check if your machine runs the latest HP-C200 firmware.
For this please read the PARISC-Linux FAQ at http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html#PDCupdate ("How can I check if the PDC (firmware) revision is the latest?").
Additionally I will try write some patch-code during the next weeks, which might get your card working even on the C200 and other machines. Stay tuned.

2.6.15-rc6-pa1 is currently beeing built.
During the next hour I assume it should be finished and you may download it from here: http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/
(I assume a B180 might be close to your c200 ?).
