Patching arch/alpha/sys_alcor.c in 2.2.19 works. The problems is that it stops but do not return to SRM prompt. Instead a message *** Console stopped because of Machine Check *** *** Pressa HALT Button to return to console *** is issued. Obviosly I have not any halt key... Maybe a different value is required instead of 0x0000dead in that file? Any Compaq engineer on air there? :) -- Francesco P. Lovergine
