Hi Gerhard,

Ack (on Alpha), and waiting that after compiling, it also boots :-)

My Avanti (currently running 2.5.18):

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cpu                     : Alpha
cpu model               : EV4

with

CONFIG_FB_ATY=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY_GX=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY_CT=y

i just get a black screen with a wild jumping cursor and than a hang. With
"normal" console, the boot dies with an zero-pointer exception.

I'll try to compile 2.5.39 and send more details about the compile
failures and boot exceptions...
