I have done that - And it seems to be working okay, i just removed the flash card, and inserted a sata disk, just to have more speed here in the test period. in /etc/fstab i changed the 'dax' devices to 'da1' and the soekris is booting, but instead of the login prompt, it just writes: <snip> Starting sshd. Starting cron. Local package initialization:. Starting background file system checks in 60 seconds. Sun Dec 7 19:31:16 CET 2008 DàDàDàDà Its the last line i dont understand, where is my login prompt? ;) Another thing, my brand new sata disk, clicks once i a while, and i have never heard that before on my other hardware, is that a soekris "feature"? _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
