This is a 'me too' but I going to send it anyway... The next thing I would test would be memory. Either swap out all the ram for another set (if you have a spare computer lying around) OR just try to compile the software with one stick at a time. If that didn't work I'd probably take out all the PCI cards there weren't necessary to boot the system. later, ajay -------------------------------------------------------------------- Satyajot (Ajay) Sharma [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
