Title: Via Epia Motherboards
Post by: russ on April 16, 2003, 02:16:28 AM: Hi there,

Im trying to get sme-server 5.6 to install on an epia 500 m/board 256Mb/40Gb
the install gets so far then reboots the machine, never in the same place

while typing this its occured to me that its probably duff ram or power
but hey ill ask anyway ;->

has anyone had any experience with the epia mobo's??

Cheers,

Russ

BTW if you card is a 5000 you'll probably have to use a different lan driver than the one supplied with sme, which does not work well with epia 5000. The other models are not concerned by this driver problem afak.

via epia 8000 reports as a i686 (uname -a) , but installing freeswan, it will only satisfy with the i586 version... not with the freeswan-module...i686.
