Is this information to fix the problem Rob is having specific to the DL380G5? I still have a DL380G5 sitting on Amd64 mode / 6.1-Stable July 2006 largely because I am afraid to upgrade it to 6.2 release because no one has given any positive feed back on the G5's proliants and 6.2. When I originally placed 6.1 release on my G5 DL380 it was pretty much was not usable. Would be great to see some one say something positive. I only got 1 of these machines so I am in no position to test.
