When I compile the 2.4.17 kernel on a DIGITAL AlphaServer 400
4/233 (Avanti), and when I reboot with my new kernel I get these messages,
sym53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0

, While Debians' Default linux (2.2.18pre21) works just fine. Here's my
dmesg :

I would appreciate it if you could possibly give me some
information on what to do.
Let me know if you need further information (eg. my .config
linux file)
Thank you very much in advance,
