However, this is a (known) shortcoming of Alpha's firmware, which most probably won't be fixed. So a fix needs to be done for the Linux kernel. The fix isn't all that hard, especially since it was coded once in history. See eg. http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/alpha/kernel/bios32.c?v=2.2.26;a=alpha#L359 for how to do that. That's not rocket science 8^) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] . +49-172-7608481 _ O _ "Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf | Gegen Zensur | Gegen Krieg _ _ O fuer einen Freien Staat voll Freier BÃrger" | im Internet! | im Irak!
