Hello,
as to how to re-compile your kernel, here a (very) short explanation
of how to do it:
1.) Install kernel-source-2.2.14-6.0.alpha.rpm
2.) cd /usr/src/linux
3.) make menuconfig
alternatively you my try
make xconfig
or if you're already in a bad mood
make config
but the last one's really horrible!
4.) Put everything as you like it ;-)
Especially your Alpha-type (though it doesn't seem to change
a lot....)
For stuff you're not sure, try <HELP>, mostly it's pretty good.
If still in doubt about an option, leave the default.
5.) Save your settings when asked with <EXIT>
6.) make dep; make clean; make boot; make modules; \
make modules_install
7.) Go make some coffe (or write all these e-mails you wanted to so
long ago ;-)
8.) copy /usr/src/linux/arch/alpha/boot/vmlinux.gz somewhere LILO or
aboot or whatever you have may find it.
9.) Re-Boot and hope you didn't overwrite your old kernel ;-)
10.) Good luck, may the penguin be with you!
and you're ready to try to find the bug!
Beware: if you try installing 2.4.x, read Documentation/Changes
about needed version of programs....

PS: Yes, I'm sure it's somewhere in a HOWTO. But the only one I found was
talking 'bout the 2.0.32-kernel....
