Glad you got it working. Most of the power supply checkers aren't worth it. I checked 3 power supplies with a checker and all 3 didnt work on the pc i was working on. It was the power supplies, i took one out of a running pc and the one being worked on powered up. So it is just easier just to swap the power supply out to start with. Chris

Try checking the power supply, swap in another one from a different pc.
Yeah, I figured that out about half an hour ago and got it going. Shoulda thought of that up front.
Interestingly, I have a power supply tester I bought at CompUSA before they left SoCal, and it said that power supply was fine. Ha ha ha. I think I need a new one, one that actually works....
Thanks, everyone. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This is one of the reasons I *love* dual power-supply, server grade hardware. It's pricier and noisier, but just being able to move one plug, then the other to swap surge suppressors and UPS's and even re-arrange power strips or re-arrange cluttered cabling is well worth it.
