Great, thank you. I will give it a try on my USL-5P and write down
the individual steps once I have figured it out.

As for the IDE controller: Can you tell me whether there are any
particular patches necessary to get the kernel detect the IDE
controller of the LANDISK devices?

I have been able to boot my own kernel on my USL-5P device, but
I could never get it to detect the IDE controller. Do I need
an additional patch for that?

Adrian
