To tell you the truth, I didn't go deeper into the hardware, as I've made an
image on the exact same machine as this one... we have 30+ of these units,
so I just grabbed another off the shelf. I'm looking at the BSP again to
see if there was something that I forgot to add, or something that is giving
an error. The strange part is that I hade images working on these units
before. I will do some more checking around.
