It's "ok", but not great. A lot of problems have been fixed since 2.4.17...
My suggested recipe right now is woody, plus security updates, plus a
2.4.19 kernel image package from the 'unstable' tree. For your system, the
package you want is:
kernel-image-2.4.19-itanium-smp_020821.1_ia64.deb
You can find it at
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.19-ia64
or at similar places in the archive on any other member of our mirror network.
