Have not tried with other versions or OSes (have OpenBSD & Scientific Linux easily available and can try if that'd be helpful). This uses the Tyan 2865 mainboard. I have a couple machines that use this board. The BIOS that ships is bogus- machines wouldn't boot (don't remember the details of why since it's been a while now). Updating the BIOS fixes it. Just built a couple of these last week and noted the most recent BIOS is dated March 2006. You might want to double check Sun's site and see if they've released updates. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
