Because it broke my kernel :(
I'm not game to move anything on the alpha until I have a remote chance
of everything working. I define working as lack of kernel oops, lack of
processes going into zombie land because the FS borked again, a kernel
that compiles, and lack of nasty scary IDE error messages which imply my
drive is about to die.
And if the damn thing rebooted without going into some strange mode
where I have to press a non-existant key that would make things easier.
