There are definitely some WAW and RAW warnings in the standard build. I'm not an ia64 assembly expert, so I don't know whether they're meaningful or not. They've been there for years, so I've learned to ignore them. > Also the build didn't seem to complete; message in > arch/ia64/boot was nothing to do > Well, I see this make only runs for the simulator and for > generic.

The 2.4 kernels end up in the top-level directory, not in arch/ia64/boot. Bjorn
