One of our guys made that mistake last week, and wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was panicking. Hi guys, Thanks for replying. I am sure that my machine is an IA64 and not x86_64. The hardware is HP rx4610 running Itanium 1 processor and not Itanium 2. I tried booting from both pxe and CD. Both gave the same error. The error message is " kernel panic - not syncing : Fatal exception" This error comes out after "running /sbin/loader " message during boot up.
