Good question .. I am not sure but I can find out. May I prematurely ask why?
The thought occurred to me that the version of SLES9 you're trying to install might not be correct for Itanium processors... this was *just* an intuitive guess. I suppose the correct request would be that you describe the hardware platform sufficiently that we can start asking intelligent questions. :-)

Agreed .. Thanks Carl .. I will get that information. Stay tuned ..
I had the same thought as Carl... x86_64 vs. ia64. x86_64 (sometimes called AMD64) is AMD's 64bit extension to ix86. ia64 is only for Intel's Itanium machines, which are obscenely expensive and quite rare. (And, as I understand it, Intel has dropped them and recently started using x86_64 for some of its' new processors, but they call it EM64T in order to save face.)
