Hello :)

Yesterday I got my shiny new net5501. I would therefore like to pool some 
facts and also some questions

* the disk led works
* using PATA as Primary and FLASH as Secondary works

* Error-LED doesn't work. Any help?
* Watchdog doesn't work. Any help?

Also, does this mean, I can only use UDMA/33 on my box?
"hda: host side 80-wire cable detection failed, limiting max speed to UDMA33"
Or should I try to override by using hdparm -X? Is a 80 pin cable available at 
all? does it make sense?

Other than that, I am very happy, the migration from a net4801 went very 
smoothly, at first I just had to compile VIA_RHINE into the kernel, and from 
there on I could build a completely customized one. So if anyone wants to 
migrate, don't forget this module or else you might make yourself some 
unneccessary pain (kernel compile via serial or once again disassemble the 
HDD from the Soekris). Other than that the kernel boots very nice.

If someone has some questions regarding migration or Gentoo on the net5501, 
feel free to ask, but it would be nice if someone could help me out of my 
issues as well *misses his hearbeat LED aswell as the confidence a WDT gave 
him*

Greetings,
Richard H.
