Is There a Known Good Hardware List?

4Gb of RAM

This PC build is quite solid and fast, preforms quite well in linuxcnc.

Does it have a pci or a pcix slot

I like to bolt a 12V-supplied Mini-ITX board to a base plate then plug in an 8GB DOM SSD module

I have this above but does the DOM require a driver as the linuxcnc iso does not see it a a drive ?

That's odd. Is it plugged in to a SATA port? In that case the system shouldn't even know that it isn't a HDD.

Does it show up in the BIOS screen?

Thanks for the rapid response Andy.
Yes it is plugged into a SATA port and does have 5V going to it. It does warm up so is getting power.
It is not shown in the bios. Perhaps it is faulty

The board runs fine with another SSD

If the BIOS can't see it, then I would suspect a fault.

Assuming that you are managing to boot from USB or similar, is there any sign of it in /dev/ ?

I have booted from my SSD and there is no sign of it in /dev So I will try and send it back.

Thanks for the info.
