On the SSD topic (and in case it helps trigger a thought), I was running into a problem on a Soekris box and a largish SSD where sometimes shortly after boot the disk would error out. After asking around, the solution seemed to be increasing the Soekris' pause-at-boot from 5 seconds to 15. The extra time seemed to be needed to stablize the SSD from a cold boot. I saw this on multiple machines using an Intel SSDSA2M040G2GC, which otherwise seems to be a good drive. Devin
