Yes, I'm running a hp workstation zx6000. I remember a post on the Debian ia64
list explaining that in order to boot the latest 2.6.16 Sid kernel,
zx2000/zx6000/rx2600 boxes must have the latest firmware (revision 2.31)
installed. My workstation already had this firmware installed, so the problem
isn't here.

Today Rawhide kernel 2.6.16-1.2102_FC6 exhibits the same issue. During install,
I've noticed the following two warnings:
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2102_FC6/kernel/drivers/media/video/zr36067.ko
needs unknown symbol strpbrk
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2102_FC6/kernel/drivers/block/diskdump.ko needs
unknown symbol notifier_call_chain

Cheers,

   Émeric
