-The default Alpha profile uses nptl and requires a 2.6 kernel. If your system |
| 111 |
-cannot support nptl (or you do not want to use nptl), you should use the 2.4 |
| 112 |
-kernel. Alternatively, if you prefer to compile your system without nptl, you |
| 113 |
-will be given the chance to select a stage built without nptl in <uri |
