power management:

Something else just occurred to me: perhaps the box is actually working,
but you only think that it isn't. Specifically:

- Make sure that you've set the serial console up correctly.

Meaning that once the kernel is booted it uses the serial port as its
console (in my case this means console=ttyS0,9600n8 on the kernel
command line).

- Set up the serial console in grub

- Make sure that there's a getty attached to the serial port

- I forget the particulars, but I remember having trouble with the boot
process stalling due to hardware flow control on the serial port. You
can avoid this by configuring the Soekris BIOS correctly (again: I
forget the details) or by unplugging the serial port while the box boots.

HTH, Jan
