I have downloaded ISO 1 of the IA 64 installation media from several sources and burned them from two programs to install on an opteron system. I have an installation that thinks it is complete on a raid 1 drive but it is refusing to boot and reporting no kernel packages installed (and won't repair GRUB) when I use the rescue disk. I have an old creative 24X creative CD-ROM drive connected to the Opteron system and I now wonder if this could be causing a false result on good media. Could there be another explanation? Neither the download nor the burn process report any errors... -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
