The main problem is, that all the affected systems are blades which are = only connected 1gig. I think that=92s the main reason we have trouble = reproducing the problem and I cannot change that, because we simply lack = the parts to produce any kind of 10gig connection between blades. So I = will postpone this idea, especially since our problems seem very similar = again. 9.2 or 10.0 does not seem to matter, at least for now. Markus
