-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't know if any of this will help.. But I am posting it anyway.. I also have a call into Intel's Advanced HPC ( EPSD ) division for more answers. Maybe they can help, maybe not.

Outside an exact white paper from Intel. Anything I can do, I am willing to help move this along. In the mean time, I am going to try to read the man page that I found for lbflash since I have it. It's hardly a solution I would want to rely on though.
