OTHER KNOWN ISSUES:

  Bugs: 
    Please refer to the "Known Issue" section of image_release_notes.txt.


  Things need to know but not bugs:

    1. Hard disk for eboot must be formatted as FAT file system.

    2. Following message is printed from EDB9302A if EDB9302AShip OS Design is
       used:
    
       MDValidateRomChain: XIP (800c0000 -> 808f5a74) span across multiple memory
       region
       ERROR! XIP region span across discontigious memory!!! System Halted!
    
       This is because the OS image is larger than 0x740000 so it spans two
       memory segments.  The error message won't affect the OS' functions. 

    3. CD/DVD Drive:
       WinCE 6.0 cannot support all kinds of CD/DVD drives currently.
       Please test your CD/DVD drive with a CEPC first. 
       If your CD/DVD cannot work on a CEPC, contact Microsoft.
       If the CD/DVD drive works fine on a CEPC but cannot work 
       on an EDB93xx board, contact Cirrus.

       The CD/DVD drive, "LITE-ON SHW160P6S04", works fine on EDB93xx boards.

    4. Copying files by using "net use" (SMB/CIFS) is very slow. The Ethernet NDIS
       driver has been optimized for receiving by indicating multiple received packets
       to the upper layer (NDIS) at a time. This optimization can gain about 20% performance
       increase for receiving. However, The protocol of SMB file transfer doesn't work 
       efficiently with the new receiving way of the Ethernet driver.  If "net use" is
       preferred, use the Ethernet driver in Cirrus WinCE 5.0 BSP.
