Thanks. I've recently started running 3.x kernels on ia64 via ski, but I'm getting random kernel crashes with 3.13. I'll give your patches a try shortly.
I've written a few patches to improve other aspects of running the kernel on ski: - ski patch to use tun/tap networking (no need to run ski as root) - ski patch to implement a fixed-frequency ITC (the ITC is currently highly variable, completely breaking basic timekeeping) - kernel patch to turn PAL_HALT_LIGHT into a new SSC_HALT_LIGHT, and a corresponing ski patch to pause() on SSC_HALT_LIGHT; this together with the fixed-frequency ITC patch allows ski to idle with very low host CPU overhead when the guest kernel idles - kernel patch to bump the RAM size from 130MB to 2GB
I'd be happy to share these patches if there's interest in them.
