I've also been successful getting 2.4.12 and 2.4.13-pre5 running on my Alpha
of (nearly) the same configuration that none of the previous 2.4.x kernels
would run on. It has been up and running with jobs, network, and NFS for the
weekend without trouble. We'll see how it is now that users have started
showing up.
I suppose it might be worthwhile to have a look through the kernel and
changelogs to see why 2.4.11 and beyond work now.
