Attempting to install any version of Ubuntu Linux from 6.06 through 10.04 hangs after uncompressing initrd.gz from the CD.
Searching the Ubuntu forums yields a similar complaint solved by installing the latest firmware, which however is already installed on my system afaict.
The offending system currently has HP-UX 11.23 installed.
I have a second rx2600 running VMS 8.3, with identical firmware which does boot the Ubuntu 8.04 CD, but not the 10.04.
I'm wondering if somehow the fact that HP-UX is installed is the issue, don't know enough about it to do more than speculate.
Any help or ideas will be much appreciated!

It may not be hanging. I ran into the same thing trying to install CentOS, SLES, and Debian on a rx2660.
You may need to define the serial port as ttyS0 via the EFI. There is some information in a HP doc, 5187-4551, Installing Linux on HP Itanium 2-based servers and workstations. The copy I have is dated January 2004.
Also, it may help to use the Smart Setup for the install found at http://software.hp.com. Select the Linux section and look for the Smart Setup link. Burn this to a CD and boot off of it.

Re: Installing Ubuntu Linux on an rx2600 hangs
That fixed it.
In the boot option maintenance menu of the offending system, I changed the console input/output/error devices from a serial 1 device (aka PNP) to a console device (aka HWP), did a cold reset and voila! Thanks!
