For the most stable kernel check out my stable-3.10 branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git
e.g.:
clone a linux tree (3.10-rcX) from Linus, then:
git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git stable-3.10
You need a "palo.conf" file, e.g. I use this one for tftbooting...
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~deller/palo.conf
-> copy it to your kernel directory (where you build).
Then take (if you like) one of my .config files (either the 32 or 64bit one).
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~deller/config-3.10-64bit
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~deller/config-3.10-32bit
copy this config file to your parisc kernel tree (build tree),
rename the file to ".config".
run "make ARCH=parisc oldconfig"
run "make ARCH=parisc -j8 palo"
for tftpbooting, copy the "lifimage" file to the tftp-bootdirectory.
for direct booting of local disc, copy the "vmlinux" to /boot (on the parisc machine).
Boot up your PA machine, and run
boot lan -> for tftpbooting, or
boot pri -> for local booting (if you have the new vmlinux in /boot.
http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/Debian_Ports_Installation has some instructions (for kernel 3.9) as well.
