hello Ivan
you don't have to do any particular activity, all is done like on i386.
get linux kernel from
ftp.kernel.org and unpack, then 'make menuconfig'
and 'make boot' + 'make modules'
this is the different part from i386, you don't have a bzImage file but a
arch/alpha/boot/vmlinux.gz file to put in a directory where aboot could
load and execute (aboot is configured via /etc/aboot.conf)
I suggest you to go for a 2.6 kernel, which requires you to install
module-init-tools (apt-get install module-init-tools)
Start downloading, configuring and compiling, then if you have problems
come back and ask. you're welcome!
ciao!
