GRML probes for pro6 and rn516 added.
Was unable to complete modprobe and gpiodetect steps due to unavailability of one of the modules. Had to run 25.12 I get it to boot. 2026 image appears not to support legacy bios boot. 25.12 does not appear to include both modules. Was able to install gpiodetect but obviously pointless without modules.
Will loop back on another pro6 chassis with a less troublesome display.
