Description Prarit Bhargava 2004-12-14 19:23:23 UTC

Installed iSPEC according to 

The iSPEC and RHR2 RPMs are available for 
download at:

http://people.redhat.com/rlandry/rhr2/RHEL-4/beta2/

The release notes are online:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/hwcert/page.cgi?id=releasenotes.html

Ispec does not give an option for "ia64" architechture ... much hand
editing of resultant ks.cfg files is required.  This invalidates 
certification done at SGI for Altix ia64 platforms.

IPF is short for Intel Processor Family, another name for ia64. This
will be labeled "ia64 (Itanium/IPF)" in the next release to make
things clearer. Sorry for the confusion.
