Does it work?  It is probably a bridge.  Who has codes handy?

Is this a joke, or what?  Go and reread BogoMIPS-HOWTO before posting
such stuff to the world.  Even if you would get a half of the original
number (because of a different layout of an empty loop to measure in
memory, for example) it would be normal.  Did you noticed "Bogo" in
the name?  Sheesh...

In linux/include/linux/genhd.h change the last line in a definition
of 'struct partition' from '};' to '} __attribute((packed));' and
recompile.

'alpha-patches' to 2.0.35, which you can find on gatekeeper.dec.com
have this patch, and many others, included.
