I was trying to bring an Alpha with a kernel from 11/15/99 to current, and
I can't seem to get kernel right.  I see that there were a lot of config
changes, so perhaps I don't have my config file in sync, but it looks
roughly like GENERIC, so I will toss the diag information in your laps.

The kernel boots, but it can't find the onboard Intel Pro-100 (it's a
Intel DK440LX, integrated everything).  The boot message tells me:

link_elf: symbol splimp undefined

This just stops the network from working, so I'm not in trouble (I have
the old kernel cached away too).  Seeing as I didn't find the ax0 device
in GENERIC, I took it out of my config file, and this causes more
confusion, because the ax0 device IS being caught on the dmesg, but the
fxp0 device (which is in the new config, instead of ax0) isn't being
caught.

I haven't done a make world with the new kernel yet, I'm running on
somewhat old userland, could that have some effect?  No kld's, that can't
be it.  Old bootblocks?
