Hopefully RMA'd boards will help Soekris folks analyse what's gone wrong with the hardware and whether it can be worked around via BIOS update. Since the devices don't show any warning symptoms (are running normally) and the boot failures for some at least are initially intermittent, there's a small chance there might be a different power on sequence that the bios could implement to resusitate these boards. Relatedly, it might be the power on sequence that the BIOS is employing that is frying components and as such a newer, gentler start up might be able to preserve existing boards. Would be nice if someone on the soekris side could provide an update as to what their current thinking is / what they advise customers should do. Should we all RMA our dead net6501 boards straightaway? What's the advice/plan?
