Debian on ia64 install - freeze
Hi
I try to install debian 6.0.1 on hp rx2600.
I boot from the CD i get first boot menu ( i can choose Install/Install(expert)/Rescue modes) after i choose one of above i see messages like :

(..) Uncompressing linux..done.
(...) Loading file /initrd.gz.. done
(...)
Linux Version 2.6.32-5-itanium (...)
(...)
2 cpus available, 2 cpus total
MCA related initialization done
-------------hangs here----------

Only thing i can do is reboot. When i press TOC button at that time i see messages about "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (...)" But i`m not sure that is the problem or TOC button causes it.
I`m wondering do i need to set up some extra variables somewere or just try other distro/version?

Thanks
Chesti

Sure it does that`s what Itanium stands for - 64bit computing.

It showed to be broken media CD.
Problem resolved.
