I think that your board is working. Are you sure you are not getting a signal on the serial port? Remember that, by default, the serial port speed in a soekris embedded computer is 19200 bps, not 9600 bps. If you get access to the serial port, you will see what happens. My net4801 has a CF card and a 80 GB enhanced availability HDD. I think that, by default, the CF is primary (I think that I changed both the serial port speed and CF configuration as soon as I received this unit ten months ago). If your only device is the HDD, you will probably want to set it as primary (if it is in cable-select mode) by setting up the CF as secondary in the comBIOS. My guess is that the CF is primary, as you have not access to the comBIOS yet. Do you have a CF card installed? If not, you need access to the comBIOS to set the HDD as primary instead. You will need to PXE boot the computer to install an operating system. I am too lazy to maintain a tftp server, so I have a bootable CF on the soekris were I copy the operating system installation sets and do a "boot 81" to install the new operating system release. As I said, first get access to the serial port (19200 8N1 by default, if I remember right...) Good luck! Igor. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
