Unfortunately squeeze provided kernels are not booting on V880/V480
systems (hangs at boot, log files are available on request).
Will try install boots from testing when time
permits. Or are there other tftpbootable images I could/should try ?
Thats the major issue here at the moment, cassini has to wait...
Thanks for caring,
Hermann
