would you please help to check the attached patch (for 2.6.17-rc1-mm1)
because our Alpha does not want to boot now.
I'm not sure what the last kernel version you had booting was (or what
the error is now the your Alpha system does not want to boot), but I
recently discovered a problem with kernels booting on my Alpha that was
introduced in one of the 2.6.16-rc's. Yesterday I was able to track
down and squash the bug, and submitted my patch (two versions, one for
2.6.16.1 and the other for 2.6.17-rc1) to the LKML. After fixing the
issue with CPU initialization, which looks like it would affect any
Alpha system as it was a case of things changing/being added in all of
the other architectures but not for the Alpha architecture, the system
has been running fine with a 2.6.16.1 kernel and reiser4 root
filesystem. :) You can find my email with the patch at
http://lkml.org/lkml/mbox/2006/4/5/69

BTW, your patch to silence the printf-style format string argument
warnings looks fine to me. :)
