In short, if you're not up to at least firmware rev 117c on your i2000, you need to upgraded. The CPE polling between 2.4 & 2.5 should be pretty much identical.

I have an i2000 here that is still running rev 103, and I'd like to upgrade it. Problem is, it has a C1 processor, and the current firmware release (130) requires a C2. Is there any way I can get access to the 117c firmware release?

The good news is that 2.5.72 seems to run fine on the box anyway (with CONFIG_MCA disabled, mind you); special thanks to Peter Chubb for fixing the keyboard problem.

Richard,

See this post on debian-ia64:

Ben Collins has made an ISO image available with firmware 117c. I put in a request to get 117c back up on the driver download page at hp.com. It sounded like it was in progress, but I'll check on it to see it gets done. Thanks,

Alex
