Hello,

Well, I've never ran Linux on SMP alpha machine (although I have
experience of running OpenVMS on AS 4100, but that was a long time ago).
So my answers questions would be "wild guesses" ones. :)

This looks like the kernel found more than one CPU. :)

Try "cat /proc/cpuinfo". It might be very very possible that "top"
somehow doesn't show multiple CPU on alpha.
Check "/var/log/message" and try to find begining of the bootup sequence
(information in dmesg.log gets
truncated overtime).

lspci command would give more info about what graphic card is installed.
Mine is "S3 Inc. 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+]" and it works.
