Please try http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/alpha-netboot.img and let me know whether it boots on Multia. I've tested this image on my system, and it boots me up to the d-i language selection screen; if it does the same for you, that gives us a starting point for trying to figure out what's changed between 2.2.22 and 2.4.27. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
