I am currently running 2.4.18 from SuSE without any (major) problems. I found it here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sf/axp/7.1/RPMS/kernel-source- 2.4.18.SuSE-0.alpha.rpm. Then I took arch/alpha/kernel/core_cia.c from version 2.4.12 (the current version does not run on XLT's booting with MILO; the latest one is 2.4.12).

Hopefully I can fix core_cia.c to run on XLT's (it's hard to find any documentation on this toppic) and arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c for machines booting with linload.exe/MILO because the hwrpb struct is built by MILO and does not match the one booting from SRM (eg. empty percpu struct resulting in a cpucount of zero in /proc/cpuinfo).
