HP9000, K Class - K420 ->boots linux?

How does parisc-linux go with the K420
these days? Will it boot?
It works here on K380, 3 CPU's, but not as easily as on newer hw. Debian (Sarge 3.1r0a) netinst loads the kernel, but fails too soon (no multiuser and no console I recall).
Gentoo has fully working livecd, which boots on K class too. Someone recommended to use the last image from 2004. So I would recommend playing with Gentoo for now.
But there's a new problem with latest kernels too. 2.6.12.2-pa2 runs fine with SMP enabled. But any 2.6.13-rc kernel with SMP dies silently right after probe for console (ttyB0). When new (.13-rc) kernel is built without SMP support, it works fine. Any ideas what could be problem here?
