Thanks kp and Juergen for responding. kp wrote:

I should add that I *did* successfully upgrade an older and much slower Soekris net4801 box to 5.1 with no problems. So I am not surprised that usb wait=3 didn't help on the much faster net6501. The reason I retired the net4801 as my router is a switched from slow DSL to 100mbs comcast, and the 4801 could not keep up. I am using the 4801 now as a tiny public web server in a DMZ. Responding to Jurgen: You surmised correctly that I started with Bering-uClibc_5.1_x86_64_syslinux_vga.tar.gz and modified syslinux.cfg for serial. I tried adding some of the same append options that you did with no luck. By current syslinux.cfg is: SERIAL 0 19200 DISPLAY syslinux.dpy TIMEOUT 0 APPEND reboot=bios usb_wait=3 console=ttyS0,19200n8 VERBOSE=1 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=1 DEFAULT /syslinux/linux initrd=/initrd.lrp,/initmod.lrp rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/sda1:vfat One question though. Unlike Jurgen, I started with my configdb.lrp from my successful Leaf 5.0.4 installation. Should I have started with a stock configdb.lrp? I took a similar approach of using my previous configdb.lrp with my net4801 upgrade and had no problems. Any other suggestions appreciated. I wonder if I am missing a module that I was somehow picking up with 5.0.4, and if I should manually inspect the modules I am using with 5.0.4 and see if I can add them to 5.1.
