vanilla-sources (2.4 kernel), alpha-sources (2.4 kernel) and development-sources (2.6 kernel) all works fine on alpha. We're however removing compaq-sources and alpha-sources soon - gentoo-sources will be the recommended kernel after removing the other -sources.
Regarding 2.6 kernels - I've been running 2.6 kernels the last 6 months
at least and haven't experienced anything bad except the known broken
qlogic isp driver which causes system hangs occasionally. I'm also aware
that I'm a bit behind schedule keywording different kernels for alpha
but feel free to file bugs at http://bugs.gentoo.org if you think I need
a reminder :)
