Okay ... I've given up trying to get networking working for the time being.
I satisfied myself with getting x installed and running, recompiling the
kernel several times. But, I cannot get the HIL mouse to work at all.
I have followed the instructions in the HOWTO: Using HIL keyboard and HIL
mouse on PARISC to the letter, to no avail.
Machine details:
715/80, 64MB RAM, single 2GB SCSI HD
EISA 10/100 VG Card in EISA slot
Boot messages find HIL and PS/2 ports (devices attached)
HIL mouse works fine under HP-UX 10.01
HIL keyboard has always worked.
Linux details:
Debian 3.0 r1 Woody
Kernel - 2.4.22-pa17.
I'd gladly provide the dmesg output, but without working network interface,
and no floppy support ...
Any ideas ... I finished going through 1.3 million lines of the mail-list
archive, before my Windows text editor blew a gasket and GPF'd, without
coming up with anything conclusive.
Noted gpm.conf lines are required in the HOWTO, but the Woody release
doesn't load gpm by default. I checked on my system and noted that gpm was
not installed. So, after failing to get the mouse working after following
the HOWTO, I installed gpm to see if that made a difference ... no joy there
either.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Shane Brodie
