Well I'm not running that anywhere, so I can't help you with that, I'm
sorry.   My one Itanium2-based system will not (or so I'm told) run VMS.

What does your Itanium2 run, then?

Not a damn thing. ;)   It hasn't been powered on in about two years.   I
installed Linux on it, but it was slower than pissing tar.   

That sounds like Linux. ;)

  Linux doesn't do that anywhere else.   (well, it used to on Alphas,
where it spent most of the CPU cycles in the alignment trap handler..)

And this is
a quad Itanium2 with like 6GB of RAM at some ungodly high clock speed!
I patted my UltraSPARCs (which run at HALF that clock rate)
affectionately on that day.

There's a reason I'm interested in SPARC gear. ;)

  There's a reason I RUN SPARC gear. ;)
