cpuinfo was from RHEL 5.4 environment. IIRC it had 2.6.18 kernel, that's why such a tight model name. I'll give more details on my next boot with a fresh snapshot...
That explains it.
None of the kernels from 5.x tree worked for me. Everytime I hit that memcpy BUG. I've booted off from https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2019-07-16/ <https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2019-07-16/> - it was perfect in terms of initial boot and launching the install shell. But then it stuck at "detect and mount CD" (step 3 of launcher).
IIRC the kernel on the installer ISOs is a generic one. Maybe that makes a difference. In any case, if you can get the processor info that would be good to know. UPDATE: Just noticed, you seem to use an old snapshot. Maybe better use a current one. For reference, I just upgraded the FS of my rx2620 with two Montecitos using a 5.10.0-8 kernel and am now doing some benchmarking with a 5.16.0-6 kernel. So far no problems, nor instabilities. For reference: Firmware levels of this machine: ``` [rx2620-mp-ilo] MP:CM> sr SYSREV Current firmware revisions MP FW : E.03.32 BMC FW : 04.04 EFI FW : 05.48 System FW : 04.29 ``` Processors are 2 x Itanium 2 9020 (Montecito). But I have to say, this machine seems to ve very well supported, because it ran everything I threw at it, so far. Cheers, Frank
