I wish to tack a corollary on to this suggestion: If it *does* boot, put all the cards back in and remove them one at a time. See if there are one, two, or three potential combinations of removed cards that allow the system to boot. Your goal is to isolate variables, and yanking out *all* the cards narrows them down to a very limited degree. -- Support your droogs! end
