IA64 Help on a SGI Altix 4700 System

[Barclay Jameson]

 I have tried to get a 3.2 and higher Kernel with support for more than 64
CPUs working on an SGI Altix 4700 with no luck. Every Kernel I have built
keeps reporting the same error: Non-existent Memory Address Error.  I am
not sure if this is a Kernel issue or not but I will supply the output from
the POD that was entered due to MCA. Any pointers or help would be greatly
appreciated.

Short Error output:
