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.

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: | 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. 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 ps. try using a different mail handler - the archives aren't able to track this thread.
