Actually I can think of some cases where linux does much better than
vanilla cisco such as packet mangling, can integrate snort etc. All
on a tiny piece of hardware designed for networking. For around $300
the 5505 is not bad. Not near as cheap as a linksys but the hardware
is better, more ram, flash media, cpu.

I did try bot acpi=off, and noapic. I'll try the other stuff. I did
manage to boot an ASA 5510 with same grml flash card. But it landed
in the busybox limited command. I assume it failed to load the
filesystem on the flash. I was just experimenting, the 5510 is too
expensive to seriously consider for long term. I want to recompile the
kernel, have the kernel load the boot option to /dev/sda1
automatically.
