I had a few problems with 2.2.0-pre4 on my alpha station:
-- "make xconfig" does not work; here is the error message:
wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk
Error in startup script: can't read "CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL": no such variable
while executing
"if {($CONFIG_NET == 1) && ($CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL == 1)} then { .f0.x7 configure -state normal } else { .f0.x7 configure -state disabled }"

make: *** [xconfig] Error 1
-- there is no include/asm-alpha/ipc.h. Actually, it seems that none is
needed, which would explain this. However, this upsets ipc/utils.c.
See patch below.
-- fs/ntfs/ntfstypes.h and include/linux/ntfs_fs_i.h both contain some
definitions for the ntfs integral types; the second one is not
complete (it lacks ntfs_s16 and ntfs_s32). See the patch below for
a crude hack.
With the following patch, it compiles; haven't tried to boot it yet:

May somebody tell me what CONFIG_MATHEMU really does ?
