I downloaded the latest kernel images (linked with
ramdisks) for the Vadem Clio from
ftp://ftp.ltc.com/pub/linux/mips/ramdisk/. I
edited a cycacecfg.txt file, remembering to add
the bootstring append=/dev/ram0.
Loading with CyaCE seemed to go OK, but was
immediately followed by the screen blanking ... then
nothing at all. No activity on the serial port
either (I had a terminal emulator plugged in).
Same effect with all the kernels.
Note that this is a Vadem Clio C1050, 32Mb RAM, not
an original C1000.
Anyone got any clues for someone who's utterly new
to running Linux on a MIPS HP/C machine?

I played with Linux on my Vadem Clio C-1050 about a year or
more ago and recall that the C-1050 has a different video
chip. Since Linux was using a simple frame buffer all it
needed was a pointer to the starting address of the video
ram, this meant though that I needed to compile my own
kernels for it to work. I seem to recall the C-1050 video
chipset being a SED1356, and I created a new frame buffer
video driver with an appropriate video ram base address,
after that I had it up and running.
