Both my boxes here experienced solid hangs at power-up (4 times out of 5) when I got them. But only when the network was connected. I thought both of them were busted and almost returned them. The lockup occurred way before any POST took place. Then I found out that if I connected the boxes to one of my 100 Mbps switches instead of the gig-e switch they booted fine. So I considered it an unfortunate incompatibility between my switch and the VIA Rhine chips. You are also right that the amount of power down time had a noticeable effect. When I first unpacked the boxes I was manually doing the power cycling. Now that they are on remote power relay ports I haven't had any issues. So I haven't spent more time looking into it. I did talk to Søren about the problem but I haven't heard of anybody else seeing it. Until now... -- Martin K.
