K, so here we go.
I have an Alix3c2 also experienced the lockup problem.
What i did was i put freedos3 from the pcengines site on my CF after formatting
it to ext2 then dd'ing the image file to the disk. Additionally had to browse
the directories (i like dolphin) and include the alix2.bin file!!! -- can be
obtained from the .99 bios .zip
after running the flashupdate i was able to boot voyage flawlessly.
now, on to adding the rite packages ;)

Please addmyself to the list as well.
