PCI errors and a hang; a minimal kernel gets further but fails "su" probe and then oopses hard when the /dev/hda partition table is about to be printed. I'll try to capture the kernel messages soon, but I don't have a null-modem serial cable to the U5 yet, and my attempts to use a digital camera only resulted in blurry pictures of the screen :-( /Mikael
