Sorry can't really help on that one, just a suggestion I came up with. One thing to try is in main bios see if there is anything about booting other bios / setting aside memory for them and turn this off. Also if you can get your hands on a second card for a few hours I think that the first bios booted cotrols both cards. So if you arange the cards right then you can get the good one to boot the bad one and then reflash the bad one. -- Tim Fletcher .~. /V\ L I N U X tjdf@st-andrews.ac.uk // \ >Don't fear the penguin< tim@night-shade.demon.co.uk /( )\ ^^-^^ The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"
