James Clarke has guess that it might be GFP_DMA32 which isn't being set properly anymore for the affected machines. Do you think we could test a kernel which just sets the flag unconditionally to see whether this is the problem that causes the issues on these machines?Just as a heads-up: This issue has magically fixed itself and a current kernel with some additional minor fixes applied boots fine on these machines again [1].
Thanks for he pointer, I already noticed your email to the debian-ia64 list some minutes ago. That's great news! :-) If time allows today I might give it a try in my rx2800 i2, which ATM just sits a meter away from me, but I'm still testing kernels on one of my V245 machines. Cheers, Frank
