There is your problem. Current releases doesn't support Itanium1 at
all. At least for some compaq model the CentOS-3 level fix was kind of
oneliner to kernel, but as i don't have hardware to test (or haven't
had a victim to test it for me) i have not paid attention for ancient
hardware support at all.
If you want something that's supposed to work in Itanium1, there should
be some port of WBEL (WhiteBox Enterprise Linux) laying around
somewhere which supposedly has this Itanium1 patch for WBEL-3 level
kernel attached.
If more people will pop up with things like "I'd run it on itanium1, if
that would be working", we/i might consider tweaking it for future
releases, but that is not relevant now.
