Gorbunov,
You need to read the "fine print" before jumping in with both feet.
See http://www.parisc-linux.org/hardware/index.html and our FAQ
at http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html.

Which version of the ISO image did you get?

We (HP) have not made any effort to support parisc-servers other than A180,
A500, and L2000. However, much of the technology in D and K-class systems 
is the same as what's in workstations of the same generation. Nearly all
of the older workstations are supported to some degree.

If you (or anyone else) has patches to support D or K-class machines, I'll
help review and integrate them since they are most likely going to be IO
related.
