I think this was a generic issue in the installer code when I created the images.
I think someone reported similiar problems with the hppa installer too.
I didn't changed anything specific for alpha.
So, maybe building new installer images might fix it, but right now this is not my top-priority.

It's the relocation isse. dmesg reports:
module xfs: Relocation (type 4) overflow vs xfs_ilock
It would be nice if this can get fixed someday.
Other than that I noticed that I'm unable to boot the linux-4.0 debian kernel
on my machine. Anyone has observed that too?
