   So, I had the same problem the other day, but it was after the machine
   had been up for several months.

Oh I forgot, before it started dying on a regular basis, I once got
the following message on console: 

DANGER WILL ROBINSON: FEN SET IN cpu_fork!

??

Oh well.  Is there anywhere I can a compiled alpha kernel without the
excessive device options that come with generic distribution as a last
ditch attempt?  I'd really hate to have to through this box out.  Its
so teeny and cute.
