   ALPHA, and I can't find any documentation there may be about it.  I wrote my

   kernel, but I have two problems I didn't with the original kernel.

Did you copy your kernel config from GENERIC?  It sounds like you simply
left something out during the transition!  I'd start with GENERIC and
proceed a little more... carefully. :-)

Your old kernel is in /kernel.old, and can be booted without problems
from the boot prompt.
