I see, then that's probably not it. I'm "hotplugging" the BIOS chips by hand. > I am assuming, maybe wrongly that EPIA V and the EPIA 5000 are the > same board. Since you're using SDRAM, I cannot imagine there being any larger differences, but just for reference, my board has a VT8601A northbridge and a VT8231 southbridge. If your board are using the same, then I guess that they are at least functionally equivalent.
