Is it blinking red or alternating red and white? In any case, you might want to connect a serial cable to the first serial port (9600 8N1) and get more information about what is wrong. I have seen Fuel machines with memory in the second bank, and the second bank disabled at the PROM level. Needless to say, these did not POST up to the graphics console, but from serial it is possible to fix the situation (nothing ``enableall'' can't fix at the PROM chevron prompt, really). Miod
