I just got one of these EPIA 5000's so I am inserting myself into this thread. I will test Thomas's patch (I have been experiencing the lockup issue). Since I am networking booting I can do it as a loadable module... or maybe I can do it by specifying it in the loader. I'll investigate after I get past the lockup problem. -Matt :Thomas Nystrom wrote: : :> I have found one other person who has run the test sucessfully but I would :> feel more comfortable if there were some more people that had run the :> patch.....
