Unfortunately, my Alpha has some hardware issue and will no longer boot. 
It started while trying to run Firefox (I suspect X doesn't respect the 
DMA bug in the pass 1 Pyxis). This crashed the machine a couple times, 
and I kept retrying it, and now it won't do anything. Without X, it was 
rock-solid, and Firefox worked fine over X forwarding. Other X programs 
that didn't use large pixmaps worked fine too. Once I get the machine 
back up, I'll send in a patch.

Incidentally, if anyone has any experience debugging Alphas, I'd 
appreciate help. It's an AlphaPC 164SX and is stopping at POST code 
0x14, which the manual informs me indicates "Memory errors cleared; 
start reading system ROM".
