Thanks for the reply Andrea. Works better with the ramdisk_size parameter, but the generic kernel/initrd it did not recognize the scsi card (sym53c8xx module) I did not invetigate why currently (may be you can tell me where to look at?)
So I use UYOK, and it works ! I managed to restore a debian etch with LVM2 build on a software RAID1. (3.8.2 si version) I will try a few more configuration. I don't know if someone is interested in the rpm build on ia64 (mostly the boot packages) ? I currently have access to a ia64 server, I will try also to build the 3.9.6, I let you know any feedback.
