8.3. ia64 Architecture

Kernel modules such as e1000 and qla2xxx can now be unloaded while running the virtualized kernel. As such, you no longer need to reboot the system after installing third-party drivers.

The X server no longer attempts to utilize memory regions incompatible to its needs. This fixes a bug that previously caused a Machine Check Abort (MCA) on some Itanium systems.

A machine check error (which previously resulted in a dom0 reboot) no longer occurs when you attempt to run the virtualized kernel on systems that use the P600 SmartArray controller.
