The latest version is reported to have experimental support for alpha.
Never tried it though.

Use Linus' 2.0.34 and Jay's patches from
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/kernels. Alternatively,
Linus' 2.1.108 also "worked for me", but I didn't test it extensively.
Note that the framebuffer stuff doesn't work on Alpha yet, not even with
Geert's or Alan's patches.
Also make sure you are using the latest MILO (also from gatekeeper, in the
same directory as the kernel patches).
If this doesn't help, we need error messages and hardware configurations
:)
