I have hardware where I want to run Linux on.
The hardware is a NAR-2091-547.
I don't know how to get it to run, I tried to install on my standard desktop-pc and put the HDD back in the hardware.
But it seems to be the wrong architecture, the only way I see is not a serial console but I don't have a cable for that.
Do you have any idea how I can get the system to run?
Thanks for your Help.
PS: I found the users manual.

That device uses a VIA C7 32bit processor. You'll need to make sure that you are installing a compatible x86 distro. Please edit your post to include the exact version of Linux you are installing and what steps you took to install it. Thank you!

You will need a kernel compiled for VIA. Chances are you will need to compile it your self, then you get to enter the world of device drivers for your system and kernel version (serial, USB, video...). This wiki entry say VIA support exist.

Thanks for answering. But isn't there a easier way, with a already existing distro ?
