Thanks for the extra input guys -- I've not yet managed to get the machine working properly, but have a few more detailed observations.
The Qube boot sequence is this :- Power on "Starting up..." Network port flicks on, then off "BOOT SELECTION" hda,nfs,tftp,shell Select NFS "Booting ..." Network port goes active Traffic is detected on server - NFS mount /nfsroot, read default.colo "BOOT SELECTION" install ssh, install serial, rescue ssh, rescue serial Select Install SSH (or timeout, does the same thing) "Starting the installer (SSH)" Network traffic - mount /nfsroot, read ssh_initrd.gz, read vmlinux-2.6.18-4-r5k-cobalt (NSF read offset requests indicate the entire file has been read - the offset numbers get to 2982912, which is ~> file size of 2935189) Network card goes off Nothing Happens ... So it doesn't look like CoLo has a problem in the first instance. I couldn't reliably get the "Console off" menu Peter referred to, I saw it once and selected "off" but couldn't get it again. Hopefully not important ... But it's not clear that CoLo is actually handing control over to the new kernel ... especially as the LCD doesn't change. -jim (Sry Peter, accidentally replied-to you directly instead of the list) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
