I had two Blade 100s that were also almost stock, the only difference between mine and yours is the pair of 120GB drives I was using instead of the stock 10GB and the CD-ROM. 2.6.5 worked perfectly, later versions had random lock-ups as you mentioned. Give 2.6.5 a try, it works great. >From the one box I have left (currently doing a lot of nothing): 2.6.5 #1 Mon Jul 26 18:37:05 PDT 2004 sparc64 sun4u TI UltraSparc IIe (Hummingbird) 14:43:12 up 251 days, 23:39, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.04 > -- Paul Heinlein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mike -- [email protected] mailing list
