I wasn't in front of the Alpha, but I tried a new installation this
morning:

- The ISO md5sum is OK
- Select English as language
- Select fr_CH-latin1 keyboard layout. 
There is an error message written in the console at that point, but it
also happens with the default keyboard layout:
/usr/bin/setkeymap: error while loading shared
librairies: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6
- Remove all partitions on selected drives and create default layout
(does this actually work on Alpha?)
At this point, there are 2 more errors showing up: 
udev[1238]: init_udevd_socket: bind failed: Address already in use
udev[1238]: main: error initializing udev socket
- I unselect everything in the package selection and the install
begins...

At 45% (while installing the fuse package, still CD1), there is a python
message showing up, see the pictures for that:

Note that the only non-standard hardware I have in this XP1000 are:
- An USB2 card
- A Radeon 7000 VE (RV100 QY)

Any clue?
