The loader runs fine, it prints out "Entering kernel at <insert 64-bit address here>" and it starts to come up, prints out the kernel build date, etc, and then panics after printing out about 50 "dec_axppci_33_intr_map: bad interrupt pin 192" messages. I can't find any information anywhere about what's going on. I've tried two different identical alphas and they both do the same thing.
