What version of MILO are you running?
Have you tried the last one I made, at:
ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/TESTING/xlt-milo.img
That one is based on 2.2.18, IIRC.

Yes, I did such today, with:
1. 2.6.0-test4 (with a very small set of generic Alpha patches)
2. built for Alcor/Alpha-XLT and EV56 (my XLT is 366)
3. booted from the MILO mentioned above.
It ran quite nicely, too, though I needed to use DE4X5 instead of TULIP
to handle the onboard 2104x chipset.
Let me know if you want patches or config file...
