ia64 will work fine with yaird once a new elilo is uploaded - this is
planned for next week. See #338185.
Though the above fix also gets us into a initramfs-tools provided
userspace, klibc seems to have a dynamic linker problem on ia64. See
#341181. Since sarge shipped with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels for ia64, I
believe this leaves us with a broken upgrade path.
I just discovered that 2.6.14-4 is not booting on ia64, while 2.6.14-3
did. In fact, a rebuild of 2.6.14-3 on sid doesn't work either - looks
like a binutils problem. 2.6.15-rc2 seems to work fine w/ latest
binutils though.
