[Soekris] Mikrotik RouterOS fails to boot on Net6501

[Frank Schuhmann]

Hi Stephen,

the only hints I got about the install procedure is following:

Try using the 5.7 or 5.8 version of the x86 variant if the 5.11 is not matching 
and also turn off the CPU HT mode because MT ROS is not able to use this 
HT mode and the install will fail.

According to your installation attempts I suggest you to try out an
install on a 2,5" HDD for having better results as with the USB stick boot.

Alternatively you can try out a DeLock CF SATA > CF Card adapter,
surely I can´t say anything about the comp ability of this adapters, but on the 
other side it will be a quick and cheap alternate try out for the MT ROS. 

Or did you find another install solution that matches right or sounds good?

Good luck and kind regards 

Frank
