Hi Shaun, Thanks for the input! Glad to hear I'm not the only one In my case, both the SCSI and NIC are integrated on the motherboard, so I cannot really move them around... :) Also, as I mentioned, I tried a de0 (PCI card, not onboard, and it literally stopped the machine). Is the de0 driver also a problem? /Palle --On tisdag, juni 03, 2003 17.21.23 +0200 Shaun Jurrens <shaun.jurrens@skoleetaten.oslo.no> wrote: > I hate to say it, but I've had these for months starting at 4.6-stable > and continuing up to at least the latest 4.7-RRELEASE-p* .
