using the redhat boot disks i finally managed to install debian on an alphaserver 2100 4/275. i wanted to upgrade the kernel to 2.2.14 to enable smp support and the like but i can't get the machine to boot with my own kernel. the symptoms are the same as when i tried to use the debian rescue disk: the machine hangs after it prints "Calibrating delay loop...". if anybody has any ideas please let me know. attached you'll find my .config file. thanks.
