Since beginning of 2005 I tried different kernel/Linux-images 2.6.x
on my Alphastation 500/500:

Tried kernels were 2.6.8-1, 2.6.8-2, 2.6.10, 2.6.12,... All kernels
crash on this machine with the following message (ksymoops):
ksymoops 2.4.9 on alpha 2.6.8-2-generic. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-generic/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.6.8-2-generic (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
Error (regular_file): read_ksyms stat /proc/ksyms failed
No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
No ksyms, skipping lsmod

Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
=
The time of the crash depends on multiple factors. Sometimes after 3
hours, sometimes after two days, but mostly during idle time. A
device driver is not affected because the crash always occurs inside
arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c in function handle_irq_event. This could be a
problem after the call to an interrupt handler of a driver but this
also happens with changed hardware/drivers (2 different drivers for
scsi, 3 different drivers for ethernet, with/without SATA,
with/without USB). Nevertheless, here the hardware configuration:
