Astaro V7 security gateway - installation

Hi all,

I'm thinking about installing Astaro V7 Security gateway.
But every time i try to install Astaro the machine just restarts after i have pressed "enter" to install. It loads a few seconds and just restarts. I've tried all the installation modes.

Specs:

VIA VC860A
800MHz CPU
256MB RAM
30GB HD
3 NICS

I've also tried V6 of the security firewall, but the same.
I read that the hardware requirements was 400Mhz, 128MB RAM min. 8GB harddisk and 2 NICS. I also tried to change the voltage, but no luck.

Any suggestions? [:S]

Is that a C7 CPU, or older?
Older probably won't work.

Thanks for you replies!

It's a C3.

What would you recommend running Astaro 7 security gateway?

It needs to be a mini-itx.

Would this be good enough: VIA EPIA EK-Series Mini-ITX Board - VIA Technologies, Inc.

How many NICs do you need? Does your case have room for a PCI NIC?

I'm not familiar with the Via Luke chipset; it's not clear what CPU that is... I believe you need to get a C7 (esther) CPU or newer if you go with VIA.

Jetway makes lots of nice VIA mini-itx boards, but they tend to be fairly expensive.
Stay away from the Jetway gigabit NICs as they mostly aren't supported in Astaro.

Another option are the new Intel Atom boards, but again, not all of them work in Astaro due to the NICs.

Check the NICs against the Astaro HCL before buying anything.
