Thanks. Depending on what you have installed on your machine (AC1 is 
prerefered) you could
try to build vanilla kernel starting from 2.6.12 or try to play with 
kernel SRPM for AC2:
ftp://ftp.rdsor.ro/pub/Linux/Distributions/AlphaLinux/core/2.0/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4axp.src.rpm
    

On my AS4100 the kernel on this image resets the machine early on (will
have to setup serial console to see the exact point where). However srm
then offers "info 3" and "info 8", which appear to be some kind of dumps.
If these are usefull, I can post them somewhere.

However, debian 2.6.15-1-smp boots to the point where initrd figures out it
has no disks (qlogic 1020 looks borken or not present; I didn't check) and
drops you to busybox shell.

Debian 2.4.27-2-smp runs fine.

Again, if there's interest, I'm willing to set up this AS4100 somewhere
online, with accessible srm (some telnet-to-serial I guess).
  

Certainly, there is an interest. :) I would love to have access.
Good news that 2.6.15 smp kernel works - there is possibility we could make it work too.

Thank you,
Sergey.
