I'd recommend the latest, 2.6.31, or even 2.6.32-rcX if you want to. I'd like to get some people to test with Radeon kernel modesetting, so at least .31 is required for that. > I've been working to bring the server up to current (emerge -uv world) & > revdep-rebuild =A0(been about 4 months since I've updated packages) > > Should hopefully be able to build the Kernel and Xorg-Server tomorrow. > > Just to answer your last question. =A0I've been running Gentoo on my alph= a(s) > for about 6 years (migrated to the DS20E earlier this year from an older > alpha 800). =A0I had contributed a bit to the livecd (2004 release) to su= pport > booting alpha with DEC Mylex 960 Raid controller (just identified the > firmware levels of the DEC OEM version). Excellent! Great to have you. :) I've been working on Alpha-related stuff for about a year and a half and have sent emails to linux-alpha@ (the kernel mailing list), axp-list, the RH alpha mailing list, debian-alpha@, but the Gentoo mailing lists looked unused, so I never mailed them before. Too bad. Thanks for your help :) Matt
