I suggest grabbing palo-latest, linux-latest and xc-latest from
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com (I can't get to it at the moment, but maybe
you can). Unless you are very lucky, you're going to at least need to
change the boot parameters, for which you need palo anyway. So grab 'em
and set up a build environment if you're REALLY serious about your HP.

As far as I know, we're still missing a kernel-headers package for hppa.
I could be wrong. Perhaps you should find the right person and complain
about this. :-) I think a suggested solution was to force-install the
sparc headers or something...

You can build it either way. I don't have a 2nd HP machine, so I have to
cross-compile. It's actually pretty nice considering that I have access
to a SMP p3-600 box. :-)
