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. > I guess the scsi driver is not present in the cd set.

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. > The dmesg is attached with the mail I'll look at it and yell if anything is obvious. grant
