Eric and others who received this message, the Ultra will in fact work I
am sure. The problems booting it were operator error and have been resolved.
I have it up and running Linux now.
It will not have the spin_lock problem because that problem only affects
SMP systems.
But there is a bit of work to do to get it ready yet.
