Re: [Linux-ia64] Problem booting SuSE SLES 8 beta (kernel 2.4.19) on

["Jose Rodriguez Ruibal" <Jose.Rodriguez.Ruibal@fr.ibm.com>]

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.

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,
