The kernel 2.2.5-22 I'm running recognizes the cpu as Alpha EV 6 (system
Tsunami, variation Monet), which is correct. So I assume this kernel was
build as DP264 specific.
Kernel 2.2.10 crashes the display when switching to colour VGA 80x25, so I
cannot even see the output.
Configuring a generic kernel doesn't allow to switch on 'SRM boot' needed
for this machine and I don't know a workaround for this.
