The initial and published version of this HOWTO.

This document outlines the procedures for getting the current PA-RISC/Linux development kernel to boot on your PA-RISC system. It also explains the functions of PALO, the kernel loader for PA/Linux. Also, you will find many informations about how to compile a kernel from the source available at http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/. Please notice that this HOWTO is a newer version than Deb Richardson's and includes more accurate informations due to the progress of the port. Nevertheless, I must say that this version keeps some texts of the oldest one and I reveal some hidden works of Deb.

If you are looking for some informations related to HP hardware but not directly to PA-RISC, please read Bruno Cornec's HP-HOWTO.

For more information about the PA-RISC/Linux porting project, please see http://www.parisc-linux.org/. This site deals with kernel development and improvment. For userspace troubles, please refer to Debian's port pages.
