should i have missed something? this is bad; so just now i've fetched a 
vanilla 2.5.70, patched ist up to 2.5.72 and applied your patch (again).
damn, will take another 3h to compile now.

hm, the fact that not _all_ files get corrupted was written in some 
early mail of mine:

i just wanted to repeat that, because when you asked me to copy only 2 
files to the fs, then do the debugreiserfs, the 2 files were not corrupted!

ok, i'll provide this information right after the compile finished.

do you still have my .config file ? on my Avanti the option 
"CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS=y" was somehow important to get the 
alpha even started. and perhaps CONFIG_ALPHA_SRM=y too.

Thanks,
