  Yes, it does. My ipfilter/NAT machine is running 4.8-REL on a 933MHz EPIA

  I use the following kernel configuration (for the X terminal):

Hi!

  How did you load the machine. Mine is one of those mini-boxes (no CDROM)
and I loaded the HD on a intel machine and put the HD in the mini-box.

First time I tried it the loader halted on BTX Halted. Dont know why.
After redoing it the loader boots fine but as soon as the kernel loads it
reboots.

Let me try it again I might have screwed up something. I do have cpu
I686_CPU in the kernel config.

Thanks
-Pranav

I didn't have a floppy drive spare, so I put in a CDR drive for the
duration of the install (although once it had booted I did a network
install as the second IDE controller didn't seem very stable).

 First time I tried it the loader halted on BTX Halted. Dont know why.
 After redoing it the loader boots fine but as soon as the kernel loads it
 reboots.

Hmm, I haven't seen anything like that with mine.  I'm pretty sure
there is a non-neglible userbase for these now though, so hang in there
and maybe someone will come up with something.

 Let me try it again I might have screwed up something. I do have cpu

OK, good luck ;-)
