Thanks. I was not aware of this flag and this is a nice tip. Unfortunately things lock up immediately before effects of this flag can be felt. Even with this I am not getting a single line from a kernel. I tried both on 1500 and 1100. Effects are exactly the same.
Tommorow I will try to graft 'arch/alpha' from 2.4.13-ac8 to 2.4.17rc1 just to see what will happen. Some changes have to be made before this will even compile. I see that some 'nautilus_init()' function showed up in 2.4.17rc1 which was not in 2.4.13-ac8. Hm.... I did boot 2.4.13-ac8 on UP1500 but in a short order I collected an impressive array of "Machine checks" both "Fatal", although machine was still running to an extent after that, and "Correctable". If somebody wants to look at them I can oblige. :-) Nothing of that sort showed up on UP1100 with the same kerel or with older kernels I was able to boot on 1500.
