Bug#309551: 2.6.x kernel won't boot on an Itanium machine

2006-05-14 Thread Peter Hessler 
As of December, the machine in question still wouldn't boot.  The
machine has been powered off since then, and has been removed from the
rack with no intention of powering it back on.  Feel free to close the
bug.

Bug#309551: 2.6.x kernel won't boot on an Itanium machine

2005-05-17 Thread Peter Hessler 
Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-mckinley
Version: 2.6.11-1

I have a Dell PowerEdge 3250, that won't boot any of the 2.6 kernels I
throw at it (not even from the install CD).  In the best instance
(pasted below), it will attempt to mount root on VFS, then pause and
reboot. So far, any 2.4 kernel that I try will boot just fine, it is
currently running 2.4.27-2.  I'm not a linux guy, but I can follow
directions :).

Kernels that fail: 2.6.11-1-mckinley, 2.6.10-1-mckinley, 
   2.6.8-3-mckinley, self-built 2.6.10 and 
   self-built 2.6.8.
Kernels that work: 2.4.27-2-mckinley
(kernels are official debian builds, unless otherwise noted)

noacpi: no dice; nolacpi: no dice; both together: no dice; pci=routeirq
as hinted to in the dmesg: no dice

also, how would I figure out what are valid options to append?  a quick
websearch shows nothing useful.

that does not exist in apt-get land (although, I'm willing to stipulate
I'm doing the wrong thing).

Should I just grab it from kernel.org (and if so, how do I get it to do
the same thing as installing an official build?)
