Hello all, Would like some help here if poss!!
Am trying restore an SLES9 ia64. I boot the system using the HP LEK boot disk and choose an option to get in touch with the image server. NO problems here. The ia64 boel binaries are downloaded but then parted cannot get hold of the disk (sda). Is this a case of a missing driver for the disk. How do I get the driver loaded ? Text included below. Thanks? ************************************************************************ ******************************* switch_root_to_tmpfs Skipping mount_dev_on_devfs... mount_proc adjust_arch ifconfig_loopback load_my_modules read_local_cfg Checking for floppy diskette.
