Actually I did installed gentoo at one dual Xeon 3.0 but I did |
2 |
installed with p4 support instead of ia64 since I can't boot a ia64 |
3 |
livecd to begin gentoo install. |
4 |
I've looked for a livecd for ia64 architeture but I didn't found, so |
5 |
I've tryed to use the amd64 livecd (I read in some places it could |
6 |
work) and it boot up but I can't chroot into the ia64 stage1 |
7 |
directory :/ |
8 |
So I think you could use one previous debian for ia64 installation for |
9 |
begin gentoo install if you have time to do it. I didn't 'cause I had |
10 |
to put the machine to work quickly. |
11 |
By the way, the server is really fine, without any problem, and I |
12 |
thinking to upgrade it to ia64 as soon as I order another server. |
13 |
About the onboard devices, if you are using a SE7520BD2 from Intel you |
14 |
may just have to compile LSI Pro Logic driver into the kernel and |
15 |
boot-up without initrd or put these modules into the initrd if you |
16 |
want initrd 'cause genkernel doesn't doit by default. |

Cheers to ia64 architeture, let me know if you able to do it. |
