Thanks for the media.

I have an alphaserver 1200. 1gb ram, 2 CPUs, ev56, so has bwx.

To try new images, I have to add qlogic firmware to the initrd on the iso,
but when I do that I get a successful installation. Installation went
smoothly and I can add software from the repo. No unaligned trap stuff.
Very clean. Thanks!

I find it that the aboot installation did not work automatically and I did
it manually by exiting the installer to the command line, but that might
have been my error.

I have yet to try SMP kernel, I think I read somewhere it is not working?
Its in the repo and I will try it, it is a 2 processor machine. SMP would
be pretty nice.

As you might imagine, xorg server is not working. Not really important. I
have tried old matrox g200 and cirrus. Just to see. I also have a trio64
somewhere..  The matroxfb framebuffer does work, fwiw, but that's as far as
I got. Actual MGA and cirrus xorg drivers I could not get to work.   I
don't know much about that stuff.


Thanks again

Darren
