While I agree that all the bugs that have been promoted to 9 have been
Good and Worth of Fixing, when is it going to stop?
Will 4.1 ever get out the door?

so we can check in the files which Erich has included.
It would make installing OSCAR 4.1 under ia64 a much smoother ride.
Of course we need to test to make sure it doesn't break other distro's
though ;-) I can give it some testing under FC2...
Just my $0.02 cdn.
Cheers,

Subject: [Sisuite-devel] ia64 efi systemconfigurator fix
Hi,
here is a fix for the ia64 boot issue which required a few
unusual workarounds in OSCAR-4.0. The patch needs to be
applied to the image.
Alternatively, you can simply take and use
http://home.arcor.de/efocht/oscar/systemconfigurator-2.0.9-2ef
.noarch.rpm
http://home.arcor.de/efocht/oscar/systemconfigurator-2.0.9-2ef.src.rpm
They need to be copied to packages/sis/RPMS and
packages/sis/SRPMS, respectively. RHEL3AS will install
(almost) as smooth as rh9.
This RPM and the corresponding SRPM contains two critical fixes for
ia64/rhel3 (reported as bug #1167615)
- the kernel version recognition fix posted earlier
- the ia46 efi and initrd setup fix attached to this email.
These fixes make following points in the RHEL Readme
obsolete: B3, B4. You will not need to care about initrd and
systemconfig.conf, it will just install smoothly. (I also
believe that B5 is not necessary, unless one installs some
additional SCSI controller. My install went smooth without
that.). With the RPMs one doesn't really need the
x86/ia64 distinction in the workarounds for RHEL3, the number
of workarounds decreases considerably.
I will maintain a bug-fixed version of systemconfigurator for
OSCAR until the fixes go into SISuite and appear as RPMs.
This seems necessary because some bugs simply cannot be
included in OSCAR as patches, they need to go into the RPMs.
Best regards,
Erich
