Simply, we transferred the hardware from the S-2460; to the S-2466 board. Everything seemed to run fine. Something unrelated happened with the S-2466 causing us to RMA the S-2466 board(s). While those boards are being dealt with, we're left a few older Intel platforms/hardware to work with: Giga-byte - GA-6BXDS 1. Intel 82440 BX AGPset 2. iTE 8671 I/Oset (1Mb/S) 3. Winbond 83781 Health Chip 4. Adaptec 7895 Dual Channel Ultra Wide SC We basically took our IDE devices and installed them on the gigabyte board. Things seem to run OK, but that's not the case. The following three things stand out: The machine randomly reboots while sitting idle -or semi-idle. With the exception of the normal processes that start post boot. E.g. ntpd, ntpdate, mbmon (from ports) nothing to intensive. ß From the console standpoint, and that's our main concern. (console). In addition, from the console, our mouse has stopped working with the following line in our /etc/rc.conf 'moused_enabled="YES"'. Our mouse is a Logitech cordless optical Model number:M-RM67A (with fresh batteries). The above works fine with the TYAN boards in place. --Console Summary- The machine randomly reboots. The mouse doesn't respond/move in the console. -- Within XFree86 - X seems to run fine, but the mouse refuses to respond/work. I'm thinking this has something to do with the different boards or chipsets, however, we have no idea where to begin in order to fix this. Respectfully yours, TR
