type

help too. I do not really like the lists. If you have any better idea, please let me know.

Thanks, Thomas.

Processor family
CONFIG_PA7100
In this section, you will find enough informations to set correctly=20 your CPU type option. Nevertheless, if you need more, you can see=20 all the hardware content of your box at http://hwdb.parisc-linux.org.

If you select the PA7000/PA7100 option, your box must be one of =

these=20

listed below: 705/35, 710/50, 715/33, 715/50, 715/75, 720/50, 725/50,=20=

725/75, 730/66, 735/99, 735/125, 750/66, 755/99.

If you select the PA7200 option, your box must be one of these =

listed=20

If you choose the PA7100LC/PA7300LC option then your box is 715/64,=20 715/80, 715/100, 725/100, A180, B132L(+), B160L(+), B180L(+), C160L,=20 C180L, D200, D210, D220, D230, D300, D310, D320 or D330. There are=20 also some systems from the E series but there are not yet supported.

Finally, PA8x00 is the good choice for all new stuff like A500, B1000, B2000, B2600, C200+, C240+, C3000, C3600, J282, J2240, J5000, J6000,=20 J6700, J7000, K250, K260, K270, K370, K450, K460, K470, K570, L1000,=20 L2000, L3000, N4000, V2200, V2250, V2500.

Since at least two C200+ machines get Trace/Breakpoint trap errors when compiling for PA8x00, I'd suggest a rephrasing or an addition like:

- for a generic kernel, select PA7x00
- if you select PA7000/PA7100, your box must be .... or newer.
- if you're not sure, select PA7x00

etc. 'Must' sounds very sure.

Good luck,
Jurriaan
