I just got mine up with FWSCSI and tried the same copy - no HPMC. Now, this is 2.4.9pa79, nor one of the 2.4.14 kernels but it does work!
I just typed=20
sync; cp /boot/vmlinux* ./; sync
on my C200 running 2.4.14-pa2 and no HPMC occurred. The disk is the only disk on the FWSCSI chain (internal).

Trying PCI STI ROM at

I'm not trying to set up the PCI graphic card now... It would freeze your machine
Unable to handle STI device 'PCI device 103c:1008 (Hewlett-Packard =

I get that message too; and I also wonder what it means exactly.
Good luck,

It means that it doesn't try to start the sticon/stifb driver for your card. Change the "#if 1" to "#if 0" in drivers/video/sti/sticore.c, line 926, recompile and boot again - then please let me know if it crashes for you or not. I once inserted that check because the sticon/stifb driver crashes with the A4977A Visualize EG PCI card in my c3000. If it works for you we could try to find a better solution.
