Last time I tried to set up an Alpha with sarge d-i (about a month
ago?) I found that I couldn't create a RAID or LVM set.  The original
plan was to have root+LVM+RAID5, which certainly works on i386 and
amd64, but the functionality appears to be missing from the alpha
installer.

We also found that the 2.6 kernel wouldn't boot on these Alphas
(UP2000, dual procssor something-or-other, SCSI, blah). It panic'ed
trying to load one of the SCSI modules.  Unfortunately I don't think
anyone got further with investigating the problem or even filed a bug
report :-/
