That kernel hang you are experiencing is related to the specificity of
the kernel. Or to be precise it is related to the missing specificity of
the kernel. In other words it seems the kernel is build for all alphas
using the generic optin in .config. Unfortunately that option should be
named almost_generic as it does not work on the jensen plattform. To
work around that problem one could use a kernel, that was built
specificly for jensen. That is what I waws doing the last years and it
worked, sort of. But I have only first hand experience with SuSE and
RedHat. (Maybe www.alphalinux.org has some usefull information)

Ahoi & good luck
