I'm running a box with LayeredTech too.... I also got and old version, but first thing I ordered a KVM/IP extender (30$ for 24h, but I had it much longer than that), sent their staff cdrom39.iso to burn and insert into the drive and did a clean fresh install of 3.9. Only problem I had was that on the hardware I have with them RAID_AUTOCONFIG hangs during boot. I tried to get my hands on identical hardware to test and debug but on mine it didn't hang. There is a patch floating around this list that most likely fixes that (no need for RAID_AUTOCONFIG to probe cd drives for RAID components, right?) but I can't test it now as the box is in heavy production. Any San Antonio Spurs' fans out there, you will know the place. :) > > ++ Gilles > Mitja
