Re: [Soekris] net4511 and POST's steps
Hi Alexander, to be honest, the "-03-" looks like a secret error code to me. Maybe Mr. Kristensen would like to shed some light on this? Probably not. Anyway, it's been reported before, but it didn't show up in my underpowered-PSU case. It looks like your only option is to ship the boxes back to Soekris Dot Com.

Re: [Soekris] net4511 and POST's steps
Hi Bill. Yes, unfortunate, boot sequence completely stops after this message. This is not the power problem, because we tried lots of PSU. And we tried power on this boards without any radio or CF cards. We also tried to solder flash with BIOS (also 1.33) from another board that works fine - we got the same result. So, problem is not in BIOS. I just don't understand, why manufacturers can't tell where we should look the problem. They should know, where the problem if POST stops at this position. -- Alexander Pogrebny engineer Unidata, Ukraine 2008/11/26 Bill Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Alexander, > > does the boot sequence completely stop after this message or does it go > into an endless reboot sequence?.

Re: [Soekris] net4511 and POST's steps
Hi Alexander, does the boot sequence completely stop after this message or does it go into an endless reboot sequence?. In the latter case you may need a more powerful PSU. I had a similar problem recently with a net5501 and I found that while its nominal power usage with a [more or less] idle OS and no extra cards attached is 5.7W-6.3W, right after poweron there's a temporary surge towards almost 9W. All works well here after swichting to a 12V 1.25A CUI Inc. EPA-151DA-12 PSU obtained from kd85.com.
