Kickstarting an RX4640 Itanium

[Matt P]

Yes, you're correct, I've got Itatium on the brain, there are only 2
internal drives. I'm in the process of building out 70+ machine which
are a mix of Itanium (RX4640) and x86 (DL class). The x86 machines
have 4 HDDs, my mistake.

I'm pretty sure the Module gets loaded. I didn't use lsmod but fdisk
does see the disk and the partitions that HP SmartStart builds which
includes efi.... I'll give that "device scsi cciss" a shot. the worst
part about testing this is I've got to burn a new DVD each time I make
a change to the config. Then sneaker net it over to the customer site,
etc, etc... It's a royal pain.
