Hi-
I have a DS10 with the following configuration:
EV6 400Mhz
1Gb RAM
Two scsi cards: a NCR 53C895 and QLogic ISP10x0
No video display
Two DE500 100bt ethernet connections (tulip)
I just installed sarge on this box using the alpha rc1 netinst image. But I
had to use the 2.4.26-1-generic kernel because the 2.6.6-1-generic failed on
the reboot. Here is the tail of the serial console log from the failure:

I *really* want a 2.6.x kernel to run on this machine, but I am concerned that
any version I try will fail similarly to the above.
Has any out there gotten a 2.6.x kernel to work on a similarly configured alpha?
If so, which kernel version and did you have to add any special flags to the
config?
Thanks,
Toni
