Hey guys, I was able to purchase a Foxconn Atom Dual-core D525 for pretty cheap off of amazon.
Amazon.com: Foxconn Atom Dual-core D525/Intel NM10/A&V&GbE PC Barebone System R10-D4 (Black): Electronics
I already had 4gb of ram, a SATA DVD drive, a low profile ethernet PCI card, and an old 80gb 2.5 inch laptop drive that I could put into it...so it was the cheapest route for me to go.
Unfortunately...something's not right. Whenever I go to install, and press "enter" at the initial "boot:" prompt...nothing happens. The screen goes black for a couple of seconds, and then the previous boot screen comes back up with a blinking prompt on the line below "boot:". It is frozen up at this point and has to be reset. I have tried all three of the "troubleshooting" options with identical results.
What am I missing here? Is this probably a compatibility issue of some sort? :confused:
