[edit] Booting Linux

The furthest I've gotten running Linux under es40 has been with the Gentoo alpha installation medium which boots past a pile of SCSI reset and offlining messages as far as: "USB Mass Storage support registered" at which point it apparently hangs. Debian hangs at "mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice" and Fedora hangs at: "RAMDISK driver initialized". It would probably help if there was a known working Linux setup on a real es40 for comparison.
