Hi,

did anybody upgrade her net4501 to 1.6 successfully?

boot method	kernel		userland	comment
=2E........................................................................=
......
disk		1.5ZC NET4501	1.5ZC		works
network		1.5ZC NET4501	1.5ZC		works

disk		1.6 INSTALL	1.6 distr. 	works
network		1.6 INSTALL	1.6 distr. 	works

network		1.6 GENERIC	1.6 distr.	doesn't find root
disk		1.6 GENERIC	1.6 distr.	kernel doesn't talk to console

Yes, I _did_ use serial bootblocks - I netbooted the INSTALL kernel,
escaped to shell, and reinstalled them manually to be sure about that.

Unfortunately, the bootblock timeout is ~0s for me (hm, I have the
0.99soemthig firmware - is there a timer problem on it?) so I can't=20
netboot a kernel and tell it to go find the disk root...

Any suggestions?

Regards,
