My web and mail server runs on a Memec board. I've seen our and customer boards up and running for extended periods of time without any problems with regard to System ACE CF.I have every confidence that it works on the ML300, just not on other boards, including both the Memec board and our in house prototypes.
System ACE CF can be turned on in the kernel configuration. Making a root filesystem on the CF or MD is straight forward.There is now a MVL preview kit for the Memec board. You might want to try it out and see whether the problems you observe persist.Is this the one which doesn't actually use the SystemACE for a filesystem?
Ok, that's a plan. When you are ready please file a web case and mention my name so that the problem resolution gets tracked properly.Looking at the postings back in April I can only say that I never saw any similar problems.Others have done so. I'll check with the hardware guys and see if I can't send you a simple hardware case that falls over at some point - I'm slightly constrained to release hardware designs and so on until after this thing is ready to ship.
