I have spent the last day or so trying to update the bios on my 5501. So far have been unsuccessful.
Looking at your Wiki: http://wiki.soekris.info/Updating_Bios I am running on Fedora 12 and using minicom through a keyspan USB to serial converter (this combination works fine on my Alix boards). I can see the boot and xmodem responses, but the xmodem transfer has not been successful (see below). If you need more information, just let me know.
