Can you try to backout those two patches in order before compiling? ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2.4.10pre2aa2/71_mmap-rb-6_other-archs-1 ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2.4.10pre2aa2/70_mmap-rb-6 I also cannot boot 2.4.10pre2aa2 on my alpha box :(, I nailed it down due the mmap-rb vma lookup rewrite, however it is quite strange that it is generating problems because it's at 99% common code stuff. I will try to fix it ASAP. In the meantime make sure to backout those two patches when you run it on alpha (such two patches never generated a single problem on x86 yet AFIK). Andrea
