I was never able to get any kernels to boot unless i marked them as Generic Alpha in menuconfig. "cat /proc/cpuinfo" would say it was a Noritake though. I literally tried all of the options in menuconfig, none worked except the Generic one.
The burner was a Yamaha 4x2x6 scsi burner. It would burn, but then the box would come to a haltwhile fixating the disk. So i had to decide what mattered more to me, uptime or a cd every time i wanted to burn. I had similar problems with an IDE burner i put in, only it would crash as soon as the burn started. It bit the dust 2 weeks before xmas, a transistor on the cpu board burnt out. Our attempts at replacing the transistor failed. I'd LOVE to get that thing running again, coolest computer i've ever owned.
