Hardware is OK, because with the installed HP-UX all works well.
HP-UX on ES40? Think Tru64 UNIX :)

To follow up, he was attempting to boot the Gentoo 2008.0 livecd,
which lacked support for this hardware.

Blackb|rd (in #gentoo-alpha on Freenode) is creating him a new ISO,
which should remedy the situation.

O-Zone should have replied to his own topic when the problem was
identified and a solution put in place.

Yes, i've tried the ISO by Blackbird with i2o support but we don't
resolve the problem. Seems that DPT support for alpha (64bit) is not
available...
