hello, i have purchase it new from soekris company not from ebay and i am using SANDISK cf card .i have updated the COMBIOS to ver 1.33c my self and i am also using usb by genkd function. after repeating the same processes over and over again the sound packages are finally working but i m seriously concerned about the unpredictability of this system. every time i have to boot the system i keep praying not to have any problem but every time i encounter new types of error :( Is there any problem with my system specifically or soekris boxes are user unfriendly in general?? i have done quite an effort for approval of this system testing in the organization i work and i intended to advocate for the use of this system on mega level but i am a little unsure myself now. i reserved 2 weeks for working of this system but its more than 2 months now :( the initial boot configration is mentioned down below.
