hi,

while evaluating such a box, im stuck. 1) diskless boot/pxe: loads, but booting the kernel with acpi hangs, without acpi fails - it seems that the Broadcom NIC is not recognized. 2) trying to install via cd bios boots the cd ok, but the boot on the cd failes to read.

the hardware seems ok, linux did boot and work ok (of cource ibm poured some M$ into linux :-)

btw, i tried current as of yesterday.
