Thanks to the tip.  To be investigated...

Sure, but it boots on a tiger2.
With the ITP, I found this line in setup.c(early_setup_arch)
        *cmdline_p = __va(ia64_boot_param->command_line);
is generating an alt dtlb miss, which is certainly not expected, right ?
I am now trying to understand why!

Thanks.
Tristan.
