Currently, aboot-installer is only present in the sid build of the CDs, since it has not yet been included in testing (and won't until it's frozen into beta2, AIUI). I'm currently downloading the sid iso to verify that aboot-installer is really there, but it *shouldn't* have gone anywhere. :) > > Yep, this problem makes both my SCSI controller and my ethernet unusable > > under 2.4.24. > Did any kernels work for you in the 2.4 series?

Kernels up through 2.4.19 worked reliably on all alphas that I know of; the DMA and PCI bridge problems first seemed to manifest in 2.4.20 or 21.
