Hi,
I'm testing SuSE SLES 8 on a Itanium 2 box, and the installation goes more
or less OK. The problem is that when I try to boot once installed, the boot
process stops while loading the mptable module. Here is the full log of the
boot:

looks like it's trying to load LSI mpt/fusion driver from the ramdisk.

Do you have an LSI FC or u320 controller installed or built-in?
Did the LSI EFI driver get loaded?

Hi,
I'm using the LSI chipset, and the driver works fine. I can configure my
disks and work with mirroring.
Cheers,

You mean from EFI shell or from Linux (running a different kernel)?

ok. Which Linux works? The SLES 8 installer? RH AS 2.1? Self-built Kernel?
BTW, I've corrected the subject line since SLES 8 kernel for Itanium 2
systems is based on 2.4.19, not 2.4.9.
Original problem report said:

What made you think "mptable" was the problem when the last output
is "loading mptbase"?
Could you determine if the kernel binaries used by the SLES 8 installer
are the same as used on the reboot?
It sounds like they are not and the problem is the ramdisk.
thanks,
grant

What kind of box is it?
I have been installing and running SuSE8 RC1 and RC2 on Intel's Tiger4
and BigSur boxes with no problems. I've installed from CD and network.

Hi again,
I'm using SuSE SLES 8 with kernel 2.4.19. The "mptable" was a typing
mistake I made. I wanted to say "mptbase". I booted with dma disabled and
seems to work now. I'll do some tests and write back again if I get the
problem again. I'll keep you in touch.
Un saludo / Best regards / Bien Cordialement,
José

ok. Which Linux works? The SLES 8 installer? RH AS 2.1? Self-built Kernel?
BTW, I've corrected the subject line since SLES 8 kernel for Itanium 2
systems is based on 2.4.19, not 2.4.9.

What made you think "mptable" was the problem when the last output
is "loading mptbase"?
Could you determine if the kernel binaries used by the SLES 8 installer
are the same as used on the reboot?
It sounds like they are not and the problem is the ramdisk.
thanks,
grant
