Debug showed that ia64 uses some special sections: __layout_sections: section .got (sh_flags 10000002) matched to MOD_INVALID __layout_sections: section .sdata (sh_flags 10000003) matched to MOD_INVALID __layout_sections: section .sbss (sh_flags 10000003) matched to MOD_INVALID All these sections are loaded to module core memory before [1]. Fix ia64 boot by loading these sections to MOD_DATA (core rw data).
