Which part of `E class is not supported' is hard to understand?  :-)

Having said that, I bet this is the same problem as FAQ 9:

I'm booting parisc linux on an early Series 700 workstation, and the 
machine hangs after printing:

ASP version 1 at ..... found

What's going on?

This was a bug in the parallel port driver, which was fixed in CVS on 
2000-11-29. You can workaround the problem by using a newer kernel or
by reconfiguring your kernel and removing support for the parallel port
(CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC).


But... there's no Lasi in an E-class.  Something's wrong with our detection
routines, perhaps.  I admit to being curious about the `Core Lan' that's
reported -- maybe it'll work.
