As I see the same problem appears also with the following Alpha architecture settings: Alpha-XL (-> Avanti) AlphaBook1 (-> Noname) As it is quite easy to avoid this mis-setting in Configure (make config/oldconfig) by the following hack: if [ "$CONFIG_ALPHA_CABRIOLET" = "y" ]; then unset CONFIG_ALPHA_EB64P fi if [ "$CONFIG_ALPHA_XL" = "y" ]; then unset CONFIG_ALPHA_AVANTI fi if [ "$CONFIG_ALPHA_BOOK1" = "y" ]; then unset CONFIG_ALPHA_NONAME fi choice 'Alpha system type' ... it can't help with xconfig. And (IMHO) it is just a hack, not a proper solution. The proper solution is probably to move three of the above "system type" settings outside the main menu. Does anybody know differences between the mentioned above three pairs of system types and how to do it? Same problem appears in the 2.4 series.
