Okay - So one of the bugs is the EISA irq initialization. Disabling
CONFIG_EISA works on my I2 in respect to booting.
Then there is another bug showing up. The MAC Address from PROM
retreival does not work which is a known bug in git also so unless
you set the mac address manually you are offline.
This is also the reason the r5k Indy worked as it does not have an EISA
bus.
The cause for the 100Mhz r4k ip22 Indy not working is still unknown
though.
