A couple of general suggestions. The latest ia64 installer CD for Debian is available online via a link on the http://www.debian.org/ports/ia64/ page. It uses a 2.4.19 kernel build that received extensive testing on HP's Itanium 1 and 2 systems. If you're running my binary kernel image packages on a Debian system, then I have been suggesting the 2.4.19 kernel images from the 'sid' tree regardless of whether you're running stable, testing, or unstable. I now recommend the 2.4.20 021210.em18.1 kernels which we have somewhat less experience with, but which are starting to feel as stable as the 2.4.19 images, and contain many useful updates. As has already been indicated, any other questions about running the Debian distribution on ia64 systems should be addressed to the debian-ia64 list. Pointers to the list archives and subscription instructions are available on the ports page mentioned above. Enjoy! Bdale
