Actually, I had asked our test engineer in CSMC to prepare 625 for the factory 
suspend/resume test tomorrow. They are doing this right now.  It means we 
should have both 624 and 625 test image to be ready tomorrow.  We can make 
decision which image we want to use in the factory suspend/resume test after we 
confirm the test result of the 4 machines that were failed with DCON problem 
before.

I'm getting a slightly different story.  I was trying to meet with 
people yesterday to discuss the whole mfg testing procedure so I knew 
what was going on and what I would need to do to get the new kernel into 
the Run-In image.

Arnold tells me that he thinks its  too late to get the DCON workaround 
kernel into the Run-In image.  He suggestion was that if we see a DCON 
problem that we pull the machine out of the rack, update the kernel and 
then re-add it back into the testing.
