Hi,

I have a few of these little boards (D510MO).  I read both on Eric's
site and this list that someone had these working, but I am having issues.
I've tried the lab's 9pcf, 9pccd, and 9pcf/9pccd from Eric's ftp server
  (I had assumed they were from 9atom... maybe that was a bad
assumption).  I also tried 9pcf from 9front.

The lab's kernels never found the sata drives (I supposed I expected
that), and all the others find the sata hardware, but hang right after
memory capacities are printed (gee, I've seen this before... what could
it be this time... :)).

Without me having to try a zillion different kernel/bootloader
combinations, would the people who use the D510MO sound off what
kernel/loader they are using?  I'd be much obliged.

THanks,

Jack
