I finally managed to build a kernel from the 08/07/99 tar file.
Now I can't boot it!

I might need to update the source tree again but need
to figure out how CVS can operate through HP's firewall.


Here's the /etc/bootptab entry:
linuxferris:\
        hd=/linux/linux-2.2.3/arch/parisc/boot:\
        bf=Image:\
        vm=rfc1048:\
        ht=ether:\
        ha=0800097B9230:\
        sm=255.255.248.0:\
        ip=15.16.122.147

Where "/linux/linux-2.2.3" is the kernel source tree.

I also wasn't sure about the difference between
CONFIG_PA7100 and CONFIG_PA7300 in the .config file.
I thought the 715/100 is an older machine before 7300LC
was available and thus is PA7100. Is this right?

"lifls Image" returns
	lifls: Can't list Image; not a LIF volume

Whereas "file Image" says:
	Image:          lif file

<sigh>...can anyone explain this?


Lastly, I've attached the console output.

thanks,
grant
