Aha! :=3D)

But with:

Command line for kernel: 'ramdisk_size=3D8192 root=3D/dev/ram console=3Dtty=
B0
TERM=3Dvt102 palo_kernel=3D0/vmlinux'

(..)

Branching to kernel entry point 0x00100098.  If this is the last
message you see, you may need to switch your console.  This is
a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org


And that IS the last thing I see :/

with console=3DttyS0 at least more output came. How do I 'switch console'?=

Do I need to connect something to this MDP-port instead?
(how? It is some inverted rs232 15-pin)

This happens with both vmlinux32 og 64.
