Hi all,

today I tried to do a diskless boot with an ASUS SP3G (DX4) using the
WC-CD 2.1 GENERIC-kernel (rather old, but OK ;-)).
It hangs after probing most of the devices. After a reset the ASUS
does´nt even perforn the mem-check, nor does
it branch to the setup-menu, by hitting DEL.

So, two.5  questions arise:
	1) Why??????
	2) Is the flash-firmware of the ASUS corrupted (and how do I fix it)?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
