Yes I should have mailed Bdale earlier ;>.

Bdale told me that we better waited two months to have a new ia64 model
that's going to be released soon. So as we don't have a working ia64 port
now, I think we can wait and polish the little issues on i386, to be
more prepared with the new arch.

If the machine is going to stay in Barcelona, we could setup a i386
now and replace later with the ia64 once we have it. Robert or me could
do the swap.

thanks,
