In article <lv1af8dov1j.fsf@sundance.stacken.kth.se> you write:

modules work (well, almost all modules work). Try modutils-2.1.85.
It seems also that you must apply the "strip -x" command on the modules
produced with a 2.0.33 kernel; at least, that is what I had to do on
my alpha to make them work.

My personnal advice is to switch to a 2.1.x kernel, the 2.1.102 for instance.
Those behave much better than the 2.0.33 on alphas, and modules are clean.
