Heya all
I have a HP Invent rx6600 dual Itanium2 server here.
I seem to have a problem even booting a Linux cd from it properly,
has anyone
got it installed on this beast?
The HP site has a lot of info on the Proliant servers but, not much
on the
Invents.
Should I use The HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux?
it only
seems to support sles and rhel.
... although it's actually a Debian CD. Or at least used to be. :-)
You shouldn't have any trouble installing Debiab-ia64 on this machine;
we run Debian on a number of rx4640 servers, which I imagine are
fairly similar.
The usual gotcha with these machines is getting the EFI console device
right so that you can see what's going on...
