Could anyone please point me towards a "cookbook" set of instructions and a suitably patched repository? For the most stable kernel check out my stable-3.10 branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git e.g.: clone a linux tree (3.10-rcX) from Linus, then: git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git stable-3.10 You need a "palo.conf" file, e.g. I use this one for tftbooting... http://www.parisc-linux.org/~deller/palo.conf -> copy it to your kernel directory (where you build). Then take (if you like) one of my .config files (either the 32 or 64bit one). http://www.parisc-linux.org/~deller/config-3.10-64bit http://www.parisc-linux.org/~deller/config-3.10-32bit copy this config file to your parisc kernel tree (build tree), rename the file to ".config". run "make ARCH=parisc oldconfig" run "make ARCH=parisc -j8 palo" for tftpbooting, copy the "lifimage" file to the tftp-bootdirectory. for direct booting of local disc, copy the "vmlinux" to /boot (on the parisc machine). Boot up your PA machine, and run boot lan -> for tftpbooting, or boot pri -> for local booting (if you have the new vmlinux in /boot. http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/Debian_Ports_Installation has some instructions (for kernel 3.9) as well.
