SuSE Linux on HP ZX2000 installaton problem

Hello. I'm trying to install SuSE 7.2 on a brand new HP ZX2000 Itanium2 Box. When I start elilo in order to set up the installation, the boot-procedure is interrupted due to the folowing error: fs0:>elilo <CR> Searching for USB Keyborard... Keyboard found. Searching for USB Mouse... Mouse found. ELILO: linux Uncompressing linux ... bootparam.c(51) bootparam @ 0x<Some Registeraddress> After this i can reset the machine. I've already checked the Iso-Image of the Installation CD but it is ok. Can anyone help ? regards, daniel

On Itanium2 boxes you should use the "Boot from File" option in the "Boot option maintenance menu" and go for the entry describing your cdrom drive.
