The device is identified as BCM5787 and immediately after it loads the kernel gives RAM Parity Error some other suff like a trace panic , non-maskable interrupt trap it now shows 6.2-pre-release as the version. what can i do to help fix this and maybe get this into 6.2. thanks Kevin Kramer wrote the following on 09/14/06 09:46: > We have one of these new boxes.
