Alpha and Debian

["Anish Patel" <s2akpate@titan.vcu.edu>]

I have an Alpha 164SX, every time I try to install ANY Linux I get the error
hda2:<> lost interrupt or something similar, I know it has the lost
interrupt part
I want to know if this is something wrong with the new kernel because I have
installed BSD with out any trouble.

I have attempted to install Mandrake 7.0, the latest Debain and Turbo
I installed Redhat 5.2 on this machine about 3 years ago but I was put away
in storage. the hd had be removed by me earlier

SYSTEM CONFIG:
Alpha 533 21164 (on board IDE)

apparently USB is on the board, just headers are not provided.
