I'm booting from SRM, so there *is no* milo. SRM uses aboot.
As an update, I replaced the 3Com 905B with a Netgear/DEC 21140 compiled
into the kernel. This made the system stable enough to download 2.2.14,
which has been running ok since last night.
I would suspect, but I do not know for sure, that the 905B's are buggy, or
that they have 64-bit "issues." On my Intel machine, the card works fine.
I found no mention of Alpha problems at:
