Author Can't boot from DVD

Hello -

I am trying to install RHEL 2.1 on an ia64 system. Every time I try to
access the DVD, I get the following on the screen and then no response at
all:



Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> elilo linux mediacheck
ELILO
Uncompressing Linux... done
Loading initrd initrd.img...done
AT19




I have tried memory size and baud rate options. I tried linux mediacheck.
I tried two sets of DVDs that were known to recently work. Does anyone have
an idea about why why why I am stuck here ??

Thanks for any information.

It turns out that I needed to connect a VGA monitor to the system (rx4640)
in addition to an ascii monitor to get the installation interface to come
up. Still don't know why "elilo linux text console=ttyS0" did not work,
but since I can access the interface, it's ok.
