A new kernel patch relative to Linus's 1.3.70 is now available:

ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sys/axp-diff-1.3.70.gz

This patch:

- fixes arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c so that it actually works
on an Alpha (no NULL-pointer dereferences anymore); I also
cleaned up the code a little (less duplicate code, use more
efficient code on Cabrio etc.)

- fixes a bug in arch/alpha/math-emu/fp-emul.c; with this fix,
you should be able to get through gcc/enquire.c when compiled
with -mieee

- floppy.c fix when compiled as a module

- adds recvmsg/sendmsg, and nanosleep syscall

Oh, I decided not to upload precompiled kernels anymore. Should
anybody miss this feature, let me know and I may change things back to
the old behavior (be sure to tell me which drivers you need, if you do
so).

Enjoy,
