There are no "actual rpms" for these packages. I had to build these...
>2) Second, I had to modify redhat-3as-ia64.rpmlist in the following
way:

The first 4 are U2- v V3+ differences. I'd like to include the U2
rpmlists so users can manually select them (with the default still being
the current (U3) versions.
The last two are due to the broken oda filtering capability. You have
one work-around, there are others; all require installing the SI server
on the compute nodes :-/
>3) I had to download, install and "turn on" a copy of
>tftp-server-0.32-4.ia64.rpm, otherwise I couldn't push the imagefile do

So, I guess tftp-hpa isn't working? Perhaps we need to ditch that old
thing and go back to the netkit version. Erich Focht also used
tftp-server on ia32 rhel.

Where is your elilo.efi? In /boot/efi? On U3, it's in
/boot/efi/efi/redhat/
Did you still manually copy the initrd, as described in the current ia64
readme?

Good to know.
