Ok!
I received my NEW VIA EPIA 18000G today...
I "trew away" my "old" via epia 6000 ML, and went to my bedroom, all happy to try my new toy...
and then...
at boot sequence it starts to looping/repeating following text:
****************

I've had this issue before. I found a typo in the configuration file for my diskless machine. I have no idea how it got there, but i suggest giving them quick look for obvious typos. I don't remember the actual typo, or even where they are located, I can't check at the moment. The config files are in a subdirectory of /tftpboot/ and it was a very small file.
I remember my problem was a line had a carriage return in the middle of it, splitting one line in half, the other half underneath itself.
Every month or so this happens and I have to fix it.
Or you can just delete it from the webadmin and re-install it. I'm finding this is becoming best practice with this software. Reinstalling stuff to fix things.
If this is a new MD, sorry I don't know. Except check the default configuration file for typos instead.
Does that board by any chance have 2 NICS?
