    OK, the problem is that the Alpha kernel in Debian is currently being built >> without ISA and EISA support. I will fix that for the next kernel upload.

    Nice! I think I found out what my main problem is: my bootloader setup.
    I copied the kernel from the CD-ROM (boot/vmlinuz), which booted, to my
    hard drive - where it did not boot at all! Perhaps a newer aboot is needed for newer kernels?

    That might be possible but I'm not sure whether there are any limitations with a-boot in this regard. Either way, you helped me find another kernel configuration
    issue in Debian that I am going to fix, so thanks for that.

    I have opened a merge request for the Debian kernel configuration now to enable EISA support in the Debian kernel package on alpha [1].

    Thus, the installer images should fully work on your machine once this change has been merged.

    Thanks,
    Adrian
