    On some ia64 machines, it may be necessary to pass the option

    "hardened_usercopy=off"

    on the kernel command line. For that, press "e" on the GRUB menu and
    append the line above without quotes to the boot command.

    It should look like as in this screenshot:

    Continue the boot with by pressing <Ctrl> and <x>.

    Instructions on how to build a custom Debian kernels can be found in the Debian kernel
    handbook, see [1].

    However, you can also tell me which kernel options you would like to get enabled on ia64
    and we can send a pull request to the Debian kernel team to make these changes [2].
