Hi all,

Now I am strugging with booting vanilla(2.4.2x) on ibm440gx and
I could succeed to boot it but, after nfs mounted, it's behavior 
seems too slow. I guess, it looks like the system is running 
half duplex. I have attached  the boot message below.

If anyone knows some information about such issue, please let me know.

Thanks,
-doyu
