Help needed installing Wheezy on SGI Altix
My work has just acquired some SGI Altix 4700s recently.
We don't have the money for RHEL or SLES so I choose Debian.
However, I am running into issues getting past Uncompressing Linux phase
of the booting process.
For the elilo command I have used:
fs0:\> elilo
fs0:\> elilo -r
I can get to the install screen fine with either of them.
At install screen I have typed these params as well.
CONSOLE=ttySG0
console=ttySG0
With all the above with various combinations it always fails with this
message:
Uncompressing Linux... done
Loading file \initrd.gz... done
POD entered via MCA, using Cac mode
0 000: POD SysCt Cac>
I have entered some command to find out why I failed out to the PROM
Debugger with these command with the resulting output:
0 000: POD SysCt Cac>error

Any pointers/help would be helpful.
Thank you,
