Another test boot iso image is maden:
ftp://ftp.rdsor.ro/pub/Linux/Distributions/AlphaLinux/core/3.0b/test/ac3_qboot2.iso
- Going  to shell in rescue mode is fixed
- Now anaconda should correctly determine video card and GUI install 
should work

If you try to test boot iso image on the machine with AC2, CentOS 
installed, the installer
should offer "upgrade" option for you.

So far, the first boot image was sucessfuly booted on:

DS10, DS15, DS20, DS25, LX164, PWS 600au (with Radeon)
