can't install redhat linux upgrade v3 on rx5670

can't install redhat linux upgrade v3 on rx5670

[kallol]

Hi,
    I have been trying to install redhat linux for Itanium upgrade v.3 on a 
rx5670 system.
It seems the installation process hangs. The vmlinux and the initrd are loaded 
onto the system
but system does not boot.

I tired to use an enbalement kit from hp, it also hung in the same way.

Any help?

elilo vmlinuz "console=ttyS0" gets the initial boot messages on the console.

Can you please capture and post the initial boot messages?
Sounds like something is wrong with the HW since i know the
HP recovery cd is tested with every one of HPs boxes.

Hello Grant,
                      I could install debian linux from the hp enablement kit cd, but RedHat Itanium cd V3.1 panics as it does not find the root filesystem. I guess the scsi driver is not present in the cd set. There should be a way to specify  the location of the scsi drivers.

The rx5670 system has symbios cards (lsi's script based cards).

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.
