Sorry can't help you, never mind it is a hardware problem. Whenever there is hardware problem, I play dumb and 'do' whatever they ask me to do and report failure for each operation. Eventually I get a RMA number. <anecdote> I run a small time consulting operation and this is the kind of flack I get. It is just not Linux. On an Intel S3000AH board, certified for Windows 2003 server, I was told that Windows 2008 server was not supported. </anecdote> -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device
