Hi Gerhard,

Ack (on Alpha), and waiting that after compiling, it also boots :-)

My Avanti (currently running 2.5.18):

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cpu : Alpha
cpu model : EV4
cpu variation : 0
cpu revision : 0
cpu serial number : Linux_is_Great!
system type : Avanti
system variation : 0
system revision : 0
system serial number : MILO-2.2-18
cycle frequency [Hz] : 166521620
timer frequency [Hz] : 1024.00
page size [bytes] : 8192
phys. address bits : 34
max. addr. space # : 63
BogoMIPS : 326.08
kernel unaligned acc : 7671003
(pc=fffffc0000954730,va=fffffc00052da056)
user unaligned acc : 252 (pc=120011758,va=12006c7e4)
platform string : N/A
cpus detected : 0

with

CONFIG_FB_ATY=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY_GX=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY_CT=y

i just get a black screen with a wild jumping cursor and than a hang. With
"normal" console, the boot dies with an zero-pointer exception.

I'll try to compile 2.5.39 and send more details about the compile
failures and boot exceptions...
