| The initial and published version of this HOWTO. |
This document outlines the procedures to get the PA-RISC/Linux
kernel to boot on your PA-RISC system. It also explains the usage of PALO,
the kernel loader for PA/Linux. You will find much information on how to
compile a kernel from the source available at
http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/.
Please note that this HOWTO version is newer than Deb Richardson's and
includes more accurate information because of the progress of the port.
Nevertheless, it's worth mentioning that this document kept parts of Deb's
original work and unveiled some remarkable information.
If you are looking for information related to HP
hardware but not directly to PA-RISC, please read
Bruno
Cornec's HP-HOWTO.
Note: by the time this HOWTO was started, Debian was the only Linux
distribution available for the PA-RISC platform, hence the "Debian
color" of this document. Some times, Debian specific commands
will have to be replaced by their equivalent, if any.
