Summary: ia64 rhel3 nodes don't boot

Initial Comment:
Trying to install RHEL3 on a small IA64 cluster. Besides the 
tftp-hpa issue two problems popped up: 
 
1. systemconfigurator kernel version recognition fails 
   This is due to the VERY simple way of detection of the 
   kernel version in /usr/lib/systemconfig/Initrd/Generic.pm 
   Consequence is that tzeh sc-initrd generation fails. 
   It can be fixed by the attached patch, which needs to be 
   applied on the image after its generation. Should go into 
   the systemconfigurator package! 
 
2. systemconfigurator elilo setup is wrong 
   sc-initrd and elilo.conf go into the /boot/efi directory 
   instead of /boot/efi/efi/redhat. Was certainly fixed 
   in earlier versions of OSCAR (4.0)... 
 
Regards, 
Erich

Item 1: Agreed; must have caught something in your kernels 
that (by luck) wasn't was present in earlier usage.

Item 2: Disagree; I just checked, and my (recently installed, 
unmodified) ia64 boot is /boot/efi/efi/redhat (technically, 
it's /boot/efi/EFI/redhat, but vfat mashes this).  This has not 
changed in OSCAR since 4.0 was released.
