Thanks for your answer. On both systems (Alpha and ix86): 2.2.17. The kernel, that is provided with the potato installation disks. On both sym53c8xx feels responsible for the SCSI controller (53c875 based on the Alpha and 53c895 based on ix86). I will have to compile my own kernels and see what happens.
