--=-rHD00AagTHZoNm415rpT Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm running 5.3 and 5.4 on roughly 6 of these 1850Rs with anywhere from 450-600mHz dual-procs. I loaded all from CD and never had any issues. What is the controller card you're using? Also, in the SmartStart config tool, what OS did you specify the machine would be used for?

Hope you can help me sort this out as I have a simmilar co= mpaq server which has it installed and works fine.
