Dear everyone, A new fresh adventurer in the land of hppa on a C8000. Netinstall goes well on Debian. The auto-partitioner is dumb so I had to redo it and separate /boot. Another problem is that the installer doesn't contain the firmware for the FireGL (radeon) so when I boot, if I have the keyboard connected, I get a kernel dump. I was hoping at least for unaccelerated frame buffer. I was not successful with gentoo. The net installer is completely broken. Using Debian as a starting point, I got far but then got stuck in the dependency hell dev-lang/python-3.8.8 and dev-db/sqlite-3.34.1. No matter what I did, I couldn't fix this. Nice to meet you all, and stay healthy. Saulo
