So what's the problem? :^)

Can you tell me *exactly* what the CD has printed on it?
I'm not familiar with any "V3.1" release for itanium.
I know about a RHAS 2.1 and RHEL 3.0 and there are a few more variants
that I don't recall.

Yes. the initrd has to contain the drivers and I expect the install
CD to have those. If the initrd does NOT, this can be fixed up
by hand by regenerating the initrd. Boot the install CD and
specific "root=/dev/sdXX" where "XX" is the right disk name.
I personally don't use either RH or initrd's so I'm not the
right person to help you with that.

I'll look at it and yell if anything is obvious.
