I never had such an error on x86.

What arch is this? MIPS, Sparc, Alpha, PA-RISC, S/390???

two box with bi-alpha each.

dual Alpha EV56, 1GB RAM, 4GB SCSI HDDs.

do you want my .config ?

[doublehp]

could you provide me some URL about this 'known bug' ?
I already opened a bug against several prebuild Debian kernels: I cant find any 2.6-SMP able to stand until the point to mount / ...

I am now wondering if this bug is inherent to 2.6 ?
SMP on Alpha ? obviously not since 2.4-SMP work fine.
my box ?
dual EV56 ?
my SRM ? - which I am trying to upgrade since now 3 weeks.

I have now about 24h of testing to do before being able to provide any usable conclusion for forums ...

[evilbob01]

Sorry to bump an old thread but I am having this same issue with the gentoo-sources and genkernel. Trying to compile the kernel on an single Alpha ev56.

I am going to try manually configuring without SMP enabled.

[JohnQMetro]

This may be too late, but I had a similar problem on my alpha machine, which I fixed by manually removing the flag -msmall-data from the kernel Makefile for the Alpha.
