Well, I took the sucker apart, blew the dust out, checked the RAM was seated properly...and then I noticed the NIC was on a slight angle. It was partially unseated in the PCI slot. Anyway, I put everything back together, and I've been running mprime for the past 6 -7 hours, no errors, no problems. Could it be that the improperly seated NIC was the cause of all the instability? I'm hopin' so, I really want that server back in biz. -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -- Hunter S.
