Robert,

I have problems booting the 735/755 when the kernel is built with
lasi/asp option enabled (it is enabled in the default config).  If I diable
this option, I can boot the 735/755 to a root prompt.

I do not know if the kernel on the CD was built with this option, but
you could build a newer kernel with this option diabled and try it
for the 710.

Hope this helps,

-Ryan

P.S. This is on my TODO list to fix after I work on the U2/UTurn
code.  If someone else is interested in taking a look at it, let me know
and I'll pass on the little bit of information I have about this problem.
