The package "linux-2.4.19-3.alpha.rpm" is (my guess) the kernel image and the 
modules compiled for AXP.

I would imagine that the kernel souce is identical to that of the i386 
platform. At least it has an "alpha"next to a "i386" (and many others) 
directory below /usr/src/linux/arch.

If that is correct, you could use the kernel source package "kernel-source" 
for both your i386 and your AXP platform based machines.

The compilers are different story. You will need a AXP specific package for 
those of course.

Could it be you have been trying to _import_ your own key ;-)

Call the kgpg "key server dialog" and then choose the tab "export". There you 
choose your key that you wish to export and press button "export". That 
should do.
