The IA-64 code that you find in the generic 2.4.2 kernel does not contain the latest bits for IA-64. To compile an IA-64 linux kernel in general you have to do: - grab the official linux kernel tarball - go to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ports/ia64 and grab the corresponding IA-64 specific patch. - apply the IA-64 patch on top of the generic kernel. So as as today, you need 2.4.1 and the latest patch for IA-64 is dated 010131. -- -Stephane
