great. thats perfect. you already got into the os. so my assumption was correct. the issue which is left is easy to fix. but you may have to test some more images i provide here

so I flashed new image and it loads all sorts of things and it ended with stopping and starting daemon, but after I restarted the device it doesn't load the image anymore, just blank screen with the Linux penguins.

no. it boots. just the vga console is likelly disabled. so i assume everything is working now. the penguins are from the kernel. so everything loaded

ok so my situation is kind of annoying I don't have integrated video on the cpu and the motherboard only has one network port, but I have a i350T4V2 that I am swapping for the gpu after the fact and I have detect vga disabled in the BIOS so that it posts without vga. I am not able to http into the device though. Does the add in network card need to be installed during the first initialization to work?

unfortunatly yes. the network card detetion is only done one time and then stored in nvram. (i fixed the vga console problem already, so next version could be more helpful for you)
so the system must be installed with network card if you install it first time. so you need to clean the config for a retry. the config is stored on the third partition on your disc. this must be erased. or you simply overwrite everything with a dummy big file using dd or physdiskwrite which wipes out the partition data. otherwise the config remains, also if you rewrite the image. since the partition is located behind the normal written image.

keep also watching if the network adapter is detected on first boot attempt.

Well I'm stuck in a waiting game right now, I managed to figure out that the board I am using is not able to post properly as a headless system. I contacted MSI and it's a known issue that they will be releasing a BIOS update for in the future, so I'm just waiting on that for the time being.

Ok got new bios and I can now boot headless. I was worried there would be problems without being able to display it, and well there is and there isn't. Seems as though the setup worked, detected my network card and I was able to log into it. I changed the username and password and now I can no longer http into it, it seems to be working, dhcp is working and the default gateway is still 192.168.1.1.

Ok so I managed to setup everything and it works at first. I'm able to log in and configure the router changed its IP from the default to 192.168.100.1 and many other settings like QoS and such from my previous router. When I remove power from the system and try to power it back on I lose all access to it. No web GUI, no telnet, no ssh but it's still pingable and DHCP is working with my configurations. But I get connection refused no matter how I try to access it.

Your username should be root for all, unless you changed it for the webUI; the webUI username is not the same for ssh/telnet, though. It will always be root. Doesn't the x86 version have a "shutdown" feature, or no? I honestly have not loaded this version on anything.

I don't even get as far as being prompted for user name or password, I just get connection refused. I didn't see a shutdown option unless theres a command for it. Is it possible that because this version is modified to work on nvme that something is not being saved to it and being lost from memory when power is lost?
