Tanco, I think all Debian install disks are configured to boot on the target hardware. They contain boot sector information which includes executable machine code for the target cpu. The OS that they load onto the hardware can only function on the target hardware type. On your hardware, ia64 machine code crashes well before it is in any condition to issue an error message, much less paint a multicolored screen image. It is misleading to suggest that the problem is that ia64 is a rare or unpopular or whatever architecture. Try the CD for PowerPC architecture, or for ARM. I think you will experience the same behavior (that is if you are not actually using PowerPC or ARM ;-) HTH Paul > > ?????????????? ???????????? wrote: >> Tanco wrote: >>> Hi, >>> I am writing to report that the ia64 dvd image is broken, >>> somehow after about 3-4 separate downloads none of the images was >>> bootable, >>> you put the DVD in / mount it to vbox , the power on and nothing >>> happends , >>> then the system hangs.. >>> after that i downloaded the i386 img and installed the 32 bit version, >>> this is actually an old issue, >>> It happend to me somewhere before the official release but I didn't >>> give it much thought >>> since it was still in rc. >>> but now I think it is a big issue... >>> >>> best regards >>> Tanco >>> >>> >> >> I guess you already know that ia64 arch is for some rare special Intel >> CPUs.
