i have a Soekris 5501-70 that I bought used. It worked fine for a few months, and then it hung on boot. The soekris list advised a new power supply, which I got from Soekris. I had a SATA 2.5" disk in it but I've since removed it.
The box presently has a CF card and the install (from a pxeboot) consistently succeeds. I've reinstalled a couple times but on boot off the disk (CF card) I get strange errors below.
I'm a little puzzled because I'd think that if the disk was bad or the disk interface was bad, it'd failed during the install. But these errors only show up when I boot off it...though the filesystem is fine (as subsequently mounting it and looking at it shows).
