It is. AFAICT, parisc will not replace the kernel in any sort of upgrade.
You have to modify palo.conf by hand to point at the new kernel and
run "palo" manually.
BTW, for now, do not use 2.6.18 SMP kernels. I believe fixes went into
2.6.22 that help make parisc SMP stable again.

What's on the DVD's should work basically.
Upgrades from that should be fine too once one gets rid of the SMP kernel.
