Well, I am in the data center (2 hr drive, unfortunately)... This is an Intel mother board. The front panel light labeled '!' is lit. It isn't lit on the working server. I'm googling right now for the meaning of this light, but if anyone knows off hand, please let me know... I have the cd1 and cd2, but not the livefs cd. I'm going to try to find that right now.
