I got it compiling now with a log level of 7, but unfortunately it
doesnt produce much output with that:
LinuxBIOS-1.1.4.0Fallback Mit Sep 10 15:13:38 CEST 2003 starting...
LinuxBIOS-1.1.4.0Fallback Mit Sep 10 15:13:38 CEST 2003 starting...
Looks like it at least attempts to reset when doing ht init ...
I'll switch as much debug on as possible again now..
