What "console=" argument do you normally use? What is your
EFI console configuration (particularly ConOut)?

IIUC, your kernel works fine without Mark's patch, and fails
with it. Right?

Documentation/ia64/serial.txt has some troubleshooting hints,
but I didn't expect Mark's patch to make a difference in this
area.
