Title: Re: [Oscar-users] OSCAR 4.1 on Itanium2 problem!!!
Do you know for certain that RHEL3u2 has support for the hardware of your node?  To test, try to manually install RHEL3u2 on the node and see if it completes successfully.
 
Another thing to try is to use a newer update version of RHEL3 (u5 is the latest version) - see if that helps.
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard
