Hi Thomas, Barry. 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.
