It appears to have something to do with grabbing the kernel args. The panic happens here: 0xa0000001007f1511 is in setup_arch (arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:570). 565 566 /* enable IA-64 Machine Check Abort Handling unless disabled */ 567 if (!nomca) 568 ia64_mca_init(); 569 570 platform_setup(cmdline_p); 571 paging_init(); 572 } If it is working for others I am wondering if the version of elilo makes a difference. I am using RHEL5 as my base system. I might try grabbing elilo from upstream or from another release and see if that makes a difference. Bisection almost done, should know what commit triggered this soon. I tried reverting a couple seemingly obvious patches but didn't find it that way. - Doug
