Lim,
also, make sure that the machine you're installing on is IA64 and not
AMD (which is x86_64). One of our guys made that mistake last week, and
wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was panicking.
Hi guys,
Thanks for replying. I am sure that my machine is an IA64 and not x86_64.
The hardware is HP rx4610 running Itanium 1 processor and not Itanium 2.
I tried booting from both pxe and CD. Both gave the same error.
The error message is " kernel panic - not syncing : Fatal exception" This error
comes out after "running /sbin/loader " message during boot up.
