I think I tried to boot a 1.6 non-MP kernel from the official 1.6 dist 
sets some time ago and got the same error. Sorry, I can't remember.

No.

Some time ago I had an AlphaServer 2000 dual 4/200 that had the same
problems like your machine. Run fine with non-MP kernel but paniced
with a MP kernel when it was going to mount the root-fs. So probably
the is related to EV5 vs. EV4 CPUs.

The machine run Tru64 UNIX 5.1A fine last week.

No, I am very glad to have this three 5/250 CPUs. But I need some wide 
SCSI BA356 boxes and two more 512 MB memory modules... ;-)
