All .28 series kernels (all rc kernels and the final one, too) do |
20 |
not compile on Alpha at all. We reported this when rc1 came out |
21 |
and the culprit and a possible solution were discussed[0], but |
22 |
nothing materialized. I re-triggered this on bugzilla today[1], |
23 |
hoping it will be fixed soon. Until then, vanilla .28 is unusable |
24 |
on alpha. |

I'll be trying that as soon as I find the time (read: somewhere |
29 |
around summer 2015 if nothing gets added to my work-pile :)) |
