I can send you a dell 750 with 6.3 on it that does work (custom 6.3 kernel, again, lost the source, can't repeduce 'fix' no matter what I tried) even upgraded dell 750 to latest firmware. other anomaly: teying to man times to boot 6.3 hosed a hard disk. fried the hardware (hard disk) somehow. > 3) Have you tried 7.1-PRERELEASE?
