Must be a Dallas Semiconductor chip. I have an IPX with that chip, and it
boot and runs fine.

Log in as root and type "eeprom". You will see two of the values will be
filled with garbage:

hardware-revision=
last-hardware-update=

Unfortunately, emacs doesn't like the garbage that is actually there, so I 
couldn't cut and paste it.

I have thought about clearing out those fields, but I haven't got around to
it.
