Cross-Configuring and Cross-Building a Linux kernel

Having set up your CrossCompilation environment, configuring and building an IA64 kernel is straightforward.

First configure your kernel:

$  make ARCH=ia64 CROSS_COMPILE=ia64-unknown-linux- QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3 xconfig

If you're building for SkiSimulator, choose HP-simulator as the system type, and Itanium-1 as the processor, and disable module support.

Then build your kernel:

$  make ARCH=ia64 CROSS_COMPILE=ia64-unknown-linux- QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3 boot

Then of course you can either run the new kernel under the SkiSimulator, or stick it into a TFTP area for NetBooting,
