I have the exact same problem on this hardware. As long as I boot the
kernel from network, the whole linux system comes up fine. But the BIOS
won't load the PALO from disk. :-( Throw in the old UX disk, and it just
boots.
I know there's a firmware update for the faster 715's (66MHz and
up). Could this be a firmware bug?
