As an addendum to my other post about the power supply going bad.... one other symptom was that occasionally when bringing up the system after a hang or a power off, the BIOS would say there was a "thermal event" which would indicate a temp problem. I finally put a one minute cron job on the machine to log the current temp using 'sensors' and could not see any such temp problem. It was all a problem with the power supply. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
