I have  a working kernel now on the rx2600 :-))
The changes:

 - disable "PnP ACPI support" (CONFIG_PNPACPI) for serial console
 - disable "Support communication between SGI SSIs" 
(CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN_XP) in order to disable 
CONFIG_IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR, as suggested by Tony  (actually no 
serial output if this is still enabled)
 - built SCSI and MPT into the kernel so the disks are found !?!?!?
