The latest IA-64 patch is available at:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/

in file linux-2.4.8-ia64-010814.diff*.

One major improvement in this patch is that the machine check support
(MCA code) should work again and better. Thanks to Asit & crew. Note
that Linus switched to the DRM code needed for XFree86-4.1. But since
we don't 460gx have AGP support for this version yet and since most
folks are presumably still running 4.0.x, I kept the old DRM code
instead. I assume this will stay so until someone (Chris?) has had a
chance up update the 460gx code to 4.1.

Oh, I dropped support for B0-B2 CPUs. So now, only B3 or newer CPUs
are supported.

Enjoy,
