Hmmm while we've been confused with the Pentium bug I forgot to
mention something - dunno if other people said so before.

I just checked 2.0.32-pre6 and I noticed that it still has the old
v0.34 driver for the EEPro100 boards. With this driver we are not even
able to install our boxes here since the boards hang when you `cold
start' on them. Could you please update it to the v0.36 driver which
is known to fix this problem (and which indeed solves our startup
problem).
