Problem : Bootable Fedora Core 2 X86_64 CD ?

Nr. 1 · 09-16-2004, 04:41 AM

Hi,

I Have Some Problems With Installing Fedora 2 On One
Of My Servers. I Can't Boot From CD. I Know There Are
Differents Between The I386 And The X86_64 Version.
But I Downloaded The orginal ISO From The Redhat
Homepage For A X86_64 System And It Doesn't
Start.

Do You Know What's Wrong ? The CD ?
The Way Of Burning ?

Thanks For Your Answers

Hi FedoraFreak,

I'm Running A System With 64 Bit Itanium Processors.
For This System The Correct ISO Must Be The
X86_64 File On The Redhat Server.

is That Correct Or Are There Possibilities I Don't Know ?

The Fact Is :

The CD Must Boot After Starting The EFI Shell.
But After Starting I Just Get A Prompt.

I Tried To Add A startup.nsh File To Get The
CD Started. But This Method Even Wasn't
Successfull.

Do you Know, How To Boot Autmatically Fedora
Core 2 From CD With EFI Shell.

Thanks

Itanium archetecture is NOT x86 you need a kernel compiled for Itanium.
