Hello J.C. and Marco, Thank you both for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated.
Most of my experience with HP stuff has been with the older DL360 G4s which seem to work great. But there have been many changes between then and the G6 series, and I don't have any spare G6s to use for lab experiments. ;-( ----- Original Message ---- From: J.C.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to really test much of anything, and worse, I think I lost the dmesg before sending it in (a dev will have to check the dmesg archive). -- J.C. Roberts
