Hoping that something here will ring a bell with someone...
I have two alphas running -current. One is a 21164, and I've been able
to keep it up to date. However, on my 21264 (Digital/Compaq XP1000)
I've been unable to get a buildworld to complete for almost a month.
Now I find that I can't even build a bootable kernel. (The kernel
builds, but the boot fails when trying to mount root.)
I'm able to boot it with a kernel that I built on 10/7, and that is
what I'm running right now. However, trying to make buildworld, it
gets as far as building libncurses, and stops.
===> libncurses

I even tried (unsuccessfully) to install a recent snapshot to get
back on track. I tried booting the kern floppy from the 19990915
snapshot, which dropped back to SRM before ever requesting the
mfsroot floppy. I also tried the 19991031 version, which got further
along, but hangs on the screen where it is probing for devices.
I'd be happy to provide any more info, if you have any ideas, but
I'm starting to wonder if there may be a hardware problem. I know
that other people are running -current on this and similar machines.
