Was this using the stock RH for Alpha 7.2 kernel sources, ie 2.4.9-32.5?

If so, could you send me the .config that failed for you?

I just built a custom MIATA kernel using those sources, changing ONLY
from GENERIC to MIATA (and specifying booting from SRM) in terms of
configuration (using the configs/kernel-2.4.9-alpha.config file as a
starting point), and everything worked, including keyboard and mouse.

Or was this with different (newer) kernel sources? If so, please
provide the details, including .config used.

Thanks.
