I was able to get the Grub menu but there was only one kernel choice. I'll try in single user mode and get back here. As for Supermicro, i was using Tyan before but their support (and associated website) was very bad (last time i used it was 2 years ago, maybe it's better now, dunno...). If we exclude Supermicro and Tyan, i'm not sure were i could go for "OEM" servers. I don't like HP, Dell, etc.: Expensive and they use a lot of "for them only" parts + they try to sell packages that are often not what i want. Thanks again. Guy Boisvert, ing.
