I am running the x86-64 version of Bering 5.0.4 very successfully on a Soekris 
net6501 used as a router. I was able to upgrade (mostly) successfully to 5.0.5. 
However I cannot get 5.1 or 5.1.1 RC1 to boot. I am booting with a Sandisk 16gb 
USB using Syslinux 4.0.5. The tail end of the boot message is quoted below. 
(The error about "can't load module pata_legacy" is apparently moot because I 
get that message even when the boot is successful with 5.0.4.)

The error below is similar to the error mentioned in the documentation in 
"Bering-uClibc 5.x - User Guide - Appendices - Upgrading from Bering-uClibc 
4.x" but that cites the problem of using an older Syslinux version, which I am 
not. Also, I have tried the 486 and 686 versions of Bering with the same 
results.

I would appreciated any suggestions or reports that others have gotten 5.1 to 
work with the Soekris net6501 and if so, how it was done. I have been running 
Leaf for a very long time on a variety of boxen and have until now always 
managed to upgrade. 

Thanks,

Tim Wegner
