Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the reply. I'd tried the one which comes with
Fedora 8 - 2.6.23.1, and it had the same problem. Will check with a still
older version on Monday.
A little googling tells me that, a lot many people have faced this situation
since long (at least since 2004 (2.6.9)), although the bugs might be
different.
I hope, there is some way out. Otherwise, the option i'm thinking of is -
running the Redmond OS as host and installing the linux server in a
uniprocessor virtual machine.
Suggestions gladly welcome.
TIA.
Best regards,
Pranav
