Alpha: 2.4.0-test6 won't boot

        i'm just wondering if 2.4.0-test6 will boot on Alpha architecture for
anyone else. Perhaps i should be asking on linux-axp, but i thought i'd try
here first since i'm subscribed. 2.4.0-test1 would boot ok (using MILO), but
i was having problems getting PCMCIA to work (i have a Multia). Mainly, for
the Noname machine (aka Multia), __raw_readw and __raw_writew aren't defined
(in 2.4.0-test1). i tried Generic machine type, but then the kernel wouldn't
compile. i would have tried fixing the undefined __raw_readw and __raw_writew,
but i thought i would try applying all the patches up to -test6 first to see
if that helped.
        i am using aboot now. i decided to switch to aboot because of the
limitations of the arc console (has to boot off of a bootable DOS partition).
i can boot other kernels with aboot, and i have the latest version (0.7a), so
i don't think it's a problem with that.
