Well, I have a lasting desire to keep non-BWX Alphas running, under Linux in particular, and I'm going to look into any issues around it; reload vs LRA is all software, so things can always be sorted one way or another. While I've been distracted by other matters lately, such as hardware failures that had to be dealt with urgently, this is now my priority #1 and I do hope to have at least some critical initial stuff in with this release cycle (noting that only ~5 weeks have left). NB I spoke to Richard about it while at LPC 2024 recently. Maciej
