If you have multiple systems of this type, do this on just *one* which you can """sacrifice""" for testing. If the issues you're encountering happen afterward, I won't be surprised, but it's good to rule out the above. Besides, if this turns out to be some weird IPMI bug, Supermicro is going to tell you to the above anyway. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
