I mention this because I noticed Marius mentioned the ata driver in another message. > > > That said, my T1 AC200 is running fine and I've > never seen such a > > problem with it... > > These things have an add-in card with 4 more ethernet slots > IIRC; > could the difference in configuration explain things? That's interesting. Any chance we could try and boot one (preferably 3 or 4 times just to be certain) with the qfe/qge taken out? The T1-200 supported a couple of quad gigabit cards (Sun P/Ns 501-6738 and 501-6522) which I've never seen before personally. I haven't ever worked with a T1-200 myself. It does indeed look like an intermediate step, engineering-wise, between two very well-engineered machines (the T1-105 and the V120). Marius, I'm curious - the T1-200 has dual-eri interfaces on the mainboard, similar to the V100/V120? - mdh
