Yes, in fact I forgot to mention it, but Jason also got remote management of the x86_64 machine figured out too. With both the itanium2 and the x86_64 machine, we still need to figure out how to do fallback kernels (i.e., "for the next boot, load kernel B; if that doesn't work, when you get rebooted, go back to kernel A"). The Itanium2 uses elilo, which doesn't seem to have this capability, but the x86_64 machine uses grub, which does have the capability (but we're just starting to test it out.) > Also with recent mainline 2.6.17-rc1 includes bsp removal support for > ia64.

Okay, what is "tiger defconfig"? I'm also unfamiliar with what bsp removal is -- is that a hp memory feature for ia64? Thanks, Bryce
