Actually, I don't know. Processors, Memory and probably SCSI should work with current kernels. But I have no clue about the glue/logic chips in there. In the wiki (https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Hardware_support) we just have this sentence: Support for Superdome will someday follow but requires some additional VM work which is in progress. But I don't know which kind of "VM work" is necessary... Couldn't you just try at least once the boot image as described here: https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Debian_Ports_Installation and then send us the logs. I think this can give some insights.
