Hi,

We have a Compaq AlphaServer ES40 and since 2.6.23 it won't boot. I'm attaching the console log and the kernel config.

Need to say that with a DEC Xp1000 it works fine, although they're different machines, of course. With .22 it boots fine, and by booting fine i mean after we reverted to 2.6.22 it booted again and everything worked as expected.
Still hangs with latest kernel.

I'm attaching the verlinux output as well, hope it helps. If i'm missing something, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks
