Re: [Soekris] net6501 won't start anymore
Try a different power supply first, they generally take a beating, followed by removing any peripherals (drives and cards) to see of you can get it to post. If you can't get anything after that then someone here can probably run you through further diagnostics if there's anything else that can be done before talking to soekris about a broken board.

It's been working nicely for me after bios with usb boot code was in place. I'm running ComBIOS 1.41c and boot OpenBSD from a low profile USB stick. However this is not a boot problem, it's a board start problem. Some time ago, after power recycling, which always went well before, the box didn't boot up and only the green power led and the red error led was lit. I then tried to press the reset button and the box continued to boot as normally. Because of occasional need for power cycling this happened a couple more times, then the other day after power cycling it wouldn't start anymore at all. And now pressing the reset button does nothing, except the four interface leds flash a fragment of a moment, and then back to only green power led and red error led lit. It stops before ComBIOS, there are no output to the serial console whatsoever (and I have had no problems getting the serial console to work before, so that's not it). So no disk problem or such, the box don't even get to POST. Where do I proceed from here? Any thoughts?

Re: [Soekris] temperature (was : DSL modem recommendations?)
I've had quite a few heating issues with my 4801 ever since my original PSU had died on me (I'm really not sure of the correlation there however). Just running the 4801 barebones with a CF, the temp will easily climb from 40C - 60C+ in the matter of minutes with the casing closed, which it ran for a year+ without this issue with a PATA hd enclosed in it... (maybe the chip overheated? most likely). I suppose I'm lucky it still works though with a heatsink and fan now keeping it sub 30's. I could imagine any amount of issues occurring with any expansion cards enclosed in the case as it only has lower vents by design (or maybe lack thereof?). Just my 2cents.

Though I agree it runs too hot. It runs hot enough that I tracked the temperature for a month and a half. From that data, the internal thermometer ran at an average of 78 C. That includes periods with the cover and without. With the cover it starts in the high 50's and climbs a degree every two or three minutes to about 80. With 37161 samples the mean temperature was 79 C and the median temperature 80C. The lowest was 55 C and the highest 94 C. The temperature of the room was around 20 C, give or take a little. For the same data set, the 5501 attached to it had an average temperature of 56, a median temperature of 57, a low of 33 and a high of 63. /Lars ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
