When I tried to boot from a LiveCD made from a 1.4 rc 1 ISO for the Alpha cpu I got to the point where the framebuffer console (a.k.a. Place where you normal see little Tux on screen) the console display was complete mess. A complete mess to me was little tiny white pixles all over the place which I assume was mean to be output. Once the white pixels appear nothing happened. The computer was not responsive to any keys being pressed on the keyboard. The system specs are: PC164 Motherboard Alpha ev56 533MHz CPU TGA video card
reassigning to bug-wranglers. Not sure if alpha uses the same scripts as ppc. Pieter
The alpha LiveCD doesnt contain framebuffer support. I think we already discussed this in #gentoo-alpha, and decided that a generic kernel wouldnt support your machine (A future version will), so marking INVALID. Please REOPEN if you have any further info.
