Unable to boot sarge ia64 disk 1
Title: Message
We've downloaded and
burnt the iso for February 14th 2004, sarge (testing) ia64, from the bittorrent
sources - but have been unable to get the CD-ROM to boot.
To test - we also
downloaded the sarge i386 iso, which does boot fine on our system - but we
would ideally like to be running an ia64 based system (we do numerical
computing)
Our system
is
Asus k8n-e deluxe
AMD64 CPU (Sempron +3000)
LG DVD-RAM drive
We've noticed that
the ia64 iso for disk 1 is missing files in the /install folder, which the i386
iso does contain (it appears to hold the boot data for vmlinuz and
initrd)
Do we have a bad
install disk for ia64, or is there some form of new booting mechanism on the
ia64 iso disks that is causing problems with our hardware? (Has anyone else
encountered similar problems trying to boot with the sarge ia64 iso
disks?)
If the booting
process is different on the ia64 disks to the i386 disks - can anyone offer any
advice / information as to what has differed? If we have a bad boot disk, is it
possible to download an earlier iso image that is known to boot
correctly?
Many thanks for any
advice / help anyone can offer.
Kind
Regards,
