Please check out http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/SkiSimulator
for lots of info on Ski.

It works fine with Linux 2.6; and hugepage work too.

I suggest you start with
	make sim_defconfig

Your symptoms look like a misconigured or misbuilt vmlinux.  The sim_defconfig

If you're running on IA32, then you need something like:
	make CROSS_COMPILE=ia64-linux-gnu ARCH=ia64 boot 
to build kernel and bootloader.

You need to get or build yourself a disk image.  Instructions for
building at http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/skidiskimage
