I tested the new floppies on my Alpha XLT with the following results: 1. The "rescue" and "root" floppies work fine using the milo provided with Potato built around the 2.0.35 kernel. I booted all the way to the initial config screens (keyboard, etc) and stopped there. I have not yet tried a full install due to Internet connectivity problems. 2. The new milo (built against the 2.2.17 kernel) hangs at "Swapping to PALcode at 0x80000" and will not proceed. I don't have a clue about a "fix", but using the Potato milo is a work-around for me.
