Hi,
just wanted to wind down this thread with my latest findings.
It turns out that some of the VIA EPIA boards have issues with DMA in
general. If you dig in the viarena forums, you'll come across a
multitude of problems around streaming, DVD access, hard disk access,
etc. I have now had difficulties not just with putting Plan 9 on
them, but also Free BSD.
Since I only paid ~$15 for the board, and I don't have the time and
energy to pursue the issues, I'm binning the board and will
investigate alternatives for a fanless setup at my leisure.
Looks like I'll have to live with fan noise a little longer. Now, if
anyone knows of reliable, allowed to be slow, preferably cheap
components I could use to set up a fanless Plan 9 box, I'd be
delighted to hear from you.
Robby
