Documentation for compiling IA64

I downloaded the 2.4.3 kernel from Kernel.org and then the IA64 patch from the ports directory.
I patched the Kernel with the 2.4.3-ia64 diff file.
I can do a 'make mrproper', and a 'make config' (It even recognizes the IA64 CPU), I can even do a
'make dep' but it doesn't let me do a make bzImage or even a make zImage. I tried looking in the
make.rules and makefile to see what targets were options, but didn't find anything. What is the target
make file?
make vmlinux

One other thing I noticed. With x86 version, you can select how much memory the Kernel will recognize
(4GB, 64GB, etc..) There is 16GB in this server. Will the Kernel recognize all of it?
Yes.

Right now I have to
do a mem=2G from the ELI loader.
Why?

Bill> make vmlinux
Starting with 2.4.3, there is also "make compressed", which will build vmlinux.gz and is the closest to the x86 "zImage" target.
Note: you'll need elilo.efi to boot 2.4.3!
