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.
