[Soekris] 5501 boot problem

Thu Aug 16 09:51:39 UTC 2007

I solved the problem by updating the linux installation
 chroooting on a similar pc, apt-get dist-upgrading in
 chrooted jail and regenerating the initfs (no kernel change, however)

If someone need more detail or help on similar problems,
 write directly to me.

Ciao.   Marco
