-The default Alpha profile uses nptl and requires a 2.6 kernel. If your system
-cannot support nptl (or you do not want to use nptl), you should use the 2.4
-kernel. Alternatively, if you prefer to compile your system without nptl, you
-will be given the chance to select a stage built without nptl in <uri
-link="?part=1&chap=5">Installing a Stage Tarball</uri>.
