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.

Choosing ZX1 should work in general, but I don't know the
details of the debian package. The 2.4 kernels end up in the
top-level directory, not in arch/ia64/boot.
