Too Busy For Words - the PaulWay Blog

Plug the Via back into its case, start it up, it reboots at exactly the same point as before. The heatsink is now firmly glued to the board; nothing short of actual disintegration is going it get it off again. The whole thing's rooted. Place purchase at AusPC Market for another Via board, this time an 800MHz fanless board with SATA connectors. Sigh as $310 leaks out of my savings.

At least this means that I can now take my brother's 200GB backup drive (when it arrives) and plug it into Dumont (the machine that the Via runs) directly rather than having to use Media or Tangram (the machines with SATA connectors) and NFS shares.
