Just an fyi, if anyone has run into this using the intel Atom boards...

Apparently the built in graphics, sometimes come up as a black screen
on first boot - after install of DIAL.

lspci -nn |grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom
Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0be2] (rev
09)

Apparently rev 09 is problematic - I have another machine with rev 0b

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom
Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0be1] (rev
0b)

It works fine...

Found the solution here:

blacklist gma500_gfx

ran
sudo update-initramfs -u

Could you say if your board is a true "Intel Atom" board or a Aftermarket board
with a Intel Atom Chipset ?

It does sound like a hardware address issue/PNP Bios/Firmware.
