Problems with building kernel on Linux/Alpha

I try to compile my own kernel on an AXPPci33 with a 233MHz 21066,
256KB Cache and 32MB memory. I applied axp-diff-1.3.18-pci to
the normal 1.3.18 linux kernel. Compiling is fine, but when I boot
that kernel, it comes up and tells me "Scanmode 2 failed".
I guess, there is something wrong with the irq settings, because
it fails on all irq detections (ide, ne2000) except for the NCR.
When the kernel is up, I can't type in anything. After some time
I see the Welcome message on the serial port. It doesn't come
out at once, but in burst of about 16 Bytes. This looks also
like a interrupt problem. Any hint ?
When I run David's 1.3.18-noname kernel the system works (that's the
kernel I use for compiling). I'm using the precompiled binaries (gcc2.7.0)
from Bob.
Two other questions:
- I see a lot of "scsi0: INTFLY ..." messages. Is this normal at
the moment ?
- What does the "machine check" message means ? I get them from
time to time
