All,

I am trying to build an IA-64 kernel on a Lion B3 system running SuSE 7.1 beta.

Attached is the error log.  Any ideas on what is going on??

Regards,

As far as I know, the IA-64 kernel is only up to 2.4.1. 

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.

ia64 needs (for now) an external patch in order to compile. The latest
"certified working" patch can be found in /pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64, ove=
r
2.4.1, whose name is linux-2.4.1-010131.diff.bz2.
