Soren, I did graceful reboot test again but now with INTEL SSDMCEAC030B3 mSATA. I stopped test after 487 successful reboot. I think there is some compatibility issue with Transcend.
Now what do you suggest, should I return Transcend disk to Soekris and replace with Intel or you will check that issue and provide some Bios update to work around that ? Note that when it fail, it took ~15 second to detect disk but also fail to report model number. I am available to test any beta version BIOS or special build with verbose information.
