Pretty much exactly what I was seeing when I would reconfigure via Kudzu. I just ignored them, and the entries I put in via the install work fine after reboot.
Jake - if you do roll a new QMTISO using CentOS4.5 as your starting point, I'd be happy to test it out! Unfortunately, I only have about another week before this machine is put in production, so I'm not sure if you have any plans that soon. Thanks for all the work everyone does on this project! -----Original Message----- From: Erik A.
