Yes, it does. My ipfilter/NAT machine is running 4.8-REL on a 933MHz EPIA 
board, and I have an X terminal running 4.8-REL on a 800MHz EPIA board.

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).

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.

OK, good luck ;-)

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

Working fine here, for about 9 months:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ grep CPU /var/run/dmesg.boot
CPU: VIA C3 Samuel 2 (800.03-MHz 686-class CPU)

I'm using "cpu I686_CPU" in my kernel config file, and no CPU specific
make flags in /etc/make.conf.
