[gentoo-hppa] Newbie problems booting gentoo on HP9000 819 K200

[Brett Johnson]

Greetings,

I recently acquired a HP9000 819 K200 server, and I am trying to get
gentoo loaded on it. The system does boot HP-UX off the original drives
so I know the system is in working order. When I try to boot gentoo, 
the system seems to go into an infinite loop after it detects the
second MUX card. I have attached the log file of the boot process.

I did try to boot debian too, and that actually panics the
system. If it would be helpful, I can capture that boot process as well.
