Hi David,

Have you tried CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC=y ? This is what I get :

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-020622/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -g -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -ffixed-r13
-mfixed-rangeñ0-f15,f32-f127 -falign-functions2 -mconstant-gp
-D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-020622/include -c -o bootloader.o
bootloader.c
In file included from bootloader.c:54:
../kernel/fw-emu.c:246:9: #error Not implemented yet...
../kernel/fw-emu.c:257:9: #error Not implemented yet...
bootloader.c: In function `cons_write':
bootloader.c:62: warning: implicit declaration of function `ssc'
make[1]: *** [bootloader.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-020622/arch/ia64/boot'
make: *** [boot] Error 2

Seems to be related to efi_get_time() and efi_reset_system() for all other
platforms than CONFIG_IA64_HP_SIM. Is this intended ?
