Cool, will give it a try soon.
I finally managed to test - now already - 4.17.0-3-mckinley on all of my
Itanium machines. Works great on most of them:

All machines were netbooted with ELILO v3.14 from Wheezy.
Forgot one thing:
I had to blacklist the "radeon" module (with e.g.
`modprobe.blacklist=radeon` in kernel command line) for all the above
machines, otherwise the startup hangs after the "radeon" module was loaded.
I assume this is the same issue as on the rp34x0 systems (nearly
identical to rx2620 hardware-wise IIC) although the VGA and additional
serial port connectors aren't blocked physically on the rx2620. See [1]
for details about the change for the rp3440.
