Most of these small boards will have a serial interface so you can hook up a debug terminal. Problem might be the hdd, since a debug kernel is a bit bigger then normal, you might consider setting up a tfpt server to make testing with it easy. Then, whenever it hangs, you'll probably be able to do a backtrace to see where things go wrong.
