First time I've tried a development kernel. 2.182 on an alpha udb.
Compiled just fine, after I commented out smp=1. Ran all night, ran this
morning until I ran X. Simply froze. Keyboard gone. Caps and numlock
lights wouldn't switch. I'll look at it later without running X and see if
it crashes. Much more responsive than 2.0.x kernels on the alpha, when
under a heavy load, I thought.
