The machine currently runs fine with the SLES kernel with Wheezy on top and some people are actually already running MPI jobs on it to get a feeling for the whole machine. I will need to write some documentation on the machine first, then figure out what the actual problem with GRUB is. Since the UV uses UEFI by default, I can conveniently co-install both GRUB and ELILO and debug the GRUB issue together with GRUB upstream. > We would also need to increase CONFIG_NR_CPUS to support this machine > (currently set to 512 on amd64).

There might be additional changes necessary. I'm attaching the configuration of the SLES kernel for reference. Adrian -- .''`.
