Thanks for your mail.
My alpha is 21164A 660MHz made by Samsung; I think that
this one is not a clock-up cpu but one shipped by Samsung.
Since then, no such errors have occurred.
I replaced the kernel, so that these errors mighy be caused by the
kernel.
(Right now I am using 2.2.9; the previous versions are 2.2.5 and 2.0.35.)
Thanks you again.
