+        Linux kernel release 2.4.xx for the IA-64 Platform
+
+   These are the release notes for Linux version 2.4 for IA-64
+   platform.  This document provides information specific to IA-64
+   ONLY, to get additional information about the Linux kernel also
+   read the original Linux README provided with the kernel.
+
+INSTALLING the kernel:
+
+ - IA-64 kernel installation is the same as the other platforms, see
+   original README for details.
+
+
+SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
+
+   Compiling and running this kernel requires an IA-64 compliant GCC
+   compiler.  And various software packages also compiled with an
+   IA-64 compliant GCC compiler.
+
+
+CONFIGURING the kernel:
+
+   Configuration is the same, see original README for details.
+
+
+COMPILING the kernel:
+
+ - Compiling this kernel doesn't differ from other platform so read
+   the original README for details BUT make sure you have an IA-64
+   compliant GCC compiler.
+
+IA-64 SPECIFICS
+
+ - General issues:
+
+    o Hardly any performance tuning has been done. Obvious targets
+      include the library routines (IP checksum, etc.). Less
+      obvious targets include making sure we don't flush the TLB
+      needlessly, etc.
+
+    o SMP locks cleanup/optimization
+
+    o IA32 support.  Currently experimental.  It mostly works.
