I'm currently setting up a minimyth frontend with that board - but up
till now I did not get it running.
My first try was to boot from a local CF card - which did not work.
The board simply did not boot from it.
Then I changed to network boot facing a new problem that the kernel
2.6.23 (from minimyth-0.21.0-58) has a problem with the onboard
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller, so the startup
got stuck when minimyth started the DHCP client.
With the latest test version minimyth-0.21.0-59b3, which now uses a
newer kernel, this problem was solved, but I still have no running
system (I posted my problem in the minimyth forum today - hope to get
some help soon)
And: although the reseller told me I will hardly hear the fan ... :-(
this is not the case. I will see if this will be a real problem when I
finally have it running and tried with the closed case in the living
room.
