    I don't know about the E10K - I believe DaveM had it working a while ago to
    one extent or another. But I do know that we've got it working on the new GS
    series Alphas... :)

    P.S. Sorry this is long, but it's just too cool.....and if you don't like it
    that much, you can always flood my mailbox with 100 copies of /vmlinux ;)
