Even if I did, I don't usually run MS-Windows (which seems to be one element of getting the mini-PCI board into the problem state). Tracking down the subtlety requires figuring out exactly how to reproduce the problem, and then verifying that a putative fix is actually the sole change that solves the problem. -- Donald Becker [email protected] Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 914 Bay Ridge Road, Suite 220 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 _______________________________________________ vortex mailing list [email protected] http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/vortex
