AlphaServer 400 vs. Alpha Core 1.0

Marek,
If you or anyone else on the list needs a video card, I have a few various
(old) PCI video cards that I would let go for shipping costs.  
I know that I have at least one Matrox Millennium, a Millennium II, and a
Diamond Fire GL1000 pro (permedia2).  There may be others laying around
also. 

These have all been used on at least one of my Alphas; EB64+, 164SX, 164LX.
Don't worry, folks.  I'm not abandoning Alphas, I just need to clean up some
old equipment, and I'd rather let it go to someone who would use it than the
landfill.

E-mail me off list for details.

A HAH! That's original TGA, and the source of your problems.

This should be OK.

Since original TGA support is missing, there's no chance of console output
from that kernel, UNLESS you change to serial console.
