2 (minor) Alpha probs in 2.5.51
(This is with rth's exception patch to fix the mount problem).
1) If compiled for the LX164 platform it is missing a number of symbols at link time (fine if built generic):
arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x3030): undefined reference to cia_bwx_inb' arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x3038): undefined reference to cia_bwx_inw'
.
.
.
(and a handful more)
2) This is a kind of subtle one. Straight after boot up if I run 'w' or 'top' I get the warning:
Unknown HZ value! (831) Assume 1024.
This value creeps up:
Unknown HZ value! (958) Assume 1024.
over a period of a few minutes till the warning goes away.

I had this exact same problem the other day, and this is fixed in -bk now. Remove the #include <asm/io.h> in include/asm/pci.h.

Dunno. Could be your clock chip is going bad.

Don't think so; with 2.4.19 it seems to be fine, and it returns to the low value after restarting a kernel from MILO even without powering the machine down or returning to AlphaBIOS.

On the other hand, the code hasn't changed since 2.4 either.

I had a DS10 here that had, what appeared to be, a bad crystal. The clock would start at about 1/2 to 3/4 the expected clock rate and over about 20 minutes would move towards what it should be at. It appeared to overshoot the right clock-rate and then below until the oscillations would dampen down to the correct rate.
I was doing RTLinux work on it so a bad clock wasn't acceptable. It lives in the garage now since I had a another DS10 that worked right. I never found what was actually going wrong with it or found a fix.
I would argue, though, that the Alpha clock itself is a crazy thing and shouldn't be expected to work right :)
