Hi All ! Greetings

I am trying to install RHEL AS 4.0 on HP Itanium rx7640currently with 1 73GB
SCSI HDD through LSI 1030 SCSI Controller. I started with the HP Smart Setup
CD. I am making only 3 partitions as follows:
/boot/efi - type vfat - 100MB
SWAP - 32GB (I have 16GB memory)
/ - type ext3 - 20GB

The installation is successful, but when i reboot i get the following
message:-

ELILO boot: Uncompressing Linux... done
Loading initrd initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img...done
audit(1185269336.355:0): initialized
i8042.c: i8042 controller self test timeout.
Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting
mkrootdev: label / not found
mount: missing mount point
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I booted into the rescue mode and have tried the following commands:-
e2label /dev/hda5 /
e2label /dev/hda3 /boot (this didn't work)
fdisk -l gave the following output
---------------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/sda: 73.4 GB, 73407865856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 8925 71687368+ ee EFI GPT
---------------------------------------------------------
I am unable to get it up anyway.

Can anybody help
