I seem to be having quite a bit of trouble with booting
kernels in the last couple of days.  It has almost looked
random.  Currently I have 2 boxes, with identical kernels
and boot blocks and one of them simply fails to boot. :(
I get the following:

1978288+179496 [32859+1492+246528+139953]

Regardless, should a alignment trap cause the machine to die?  I
think in NetBSD, they just print it to the console.  Has anyone
else noticed similar behavior?

Not being able to reliably build a kernel makes it really hard
to get things done.  I finally have my GNIC II driver mostly
working on the alpha too.  Oh well..  I think it's a bit late
for 3.0 anyways.
