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
