specifically we have a Lion HP rx4610 (by the way, the link to the BIOS page on www.debian.org/ports/ia64/ no longer exists. please update).
The system already has a efi vfat partition (it came with redhat) and so when the system powers up it goes into the efi shell shell> fs1: gives prompt fs1> upon which one is able to see the files on the cdrom typing elilo by itself boots the kernel and loads root.bin (presumably it is reading elilo.conf file in the same directory?) we run to the install but when we try to install packages either from the cdrom or the network we encounter the error: kernel panic: map_single: could not allocate software IO TLB (2048 bytes) <up/<down> between elements | <Enter> selects... at this point the system was frozen. Checking the list archives I found http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2001/debian-ia64-200109/msg00043.html which apparently says something like I added swiotlb=32768... where do I add this and what does the number 32768 refer to do I type elilo swiotlb=32768 ? -thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
