Thanks to all the people who answered. Madly hitting Ctrl-C did the job and after that it was all fairly straightforward. Only issue was that it appears to load the tulip network driver which doesn't work. de4x5 does work nicely, however. I think that's probably hotplug's fault. Anyone know if that's a bug I should be reporting and what information (lspci output?) is needed. I also get some error message about unzip compression formats immediately before aboot starts but it doesn't seem to actually matter. Before I build myself a custom kernel does anyone have any suggestions on whether I should go with 2.4 or 2.6? Is 2.6 stable on an alpha and would it probably be slower on such old hardware?
