Unfortunately 2.6.4 is broken on alpha due to changes made by the |
7 |
linux-ia64 team (kernel.org, not Gentoo). 2.6.3 works well, though. |

Hopefully 2.6.5 will be fixed up (but I don't think so yet). |

Doesn't matter to me. Personally I'd like to see Gentoo/Alpha move to |
24 |
2.6.x for 2004.1, but I suppose that would be pushing too quickly. |
25 |
Maybe it would be possible for 2004.2. |
