My C160 is running the old, broken, no-working-pci, firmware version
2.1. The ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/ lists the
latest version (PF_CC2X0061) as 6.1.=20

So I upgraded my firmware. Still no sti console nor X on frame buffer. I
can see in /proc that the frame buffers are running (stifb). When X
starts, it fails on a framebuffer call.=20

When IPL

dmesg mentions: Dino: No PCI devices enabled.

Also, my processor is listed in firmware and docs as a PA8000. So why
not 64-bit cpu. If I boot the 2.4.16-64 kernel, it hangs after the
"branching" messege screen.=20
