I assume you mean pulling (or swapping) cards out and waiting to see if the error appears again (repeat process until problem isolated). I can do this - the display card and the ethernet card are more involved than the scsi card. I guess I could reconfigure and set up a serial console; pull all the cards out except the ethernet card and wait. Changing the ethernet card would be the simplest thing to do, but I'll have to work with the people who maintain the domain name server here. As an aside, this system use to run Windows NT and Linux (I wipe both off the system when I got the machine). The person who had this computer before me, could never get Linux to run and use the scsi card and the ethernet card simultaneously - instead he built two separate kernels, one for each card (both work under NT with out any problem). I have never found any conflicts between these two cards under FreeBSD or Windows 95. I just wonder if there is any connection between my console messages and the issues experienced under Linux (my guess is probably not!). Anyway, thanks again. I'm going to go off and pound my head, pull and swap boards etc. Tod -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tod Luginbuhl email: t.e.luginbuhl@ieee.org Code 2121 Naval Undersea Warfare Center Telephone: (401) 841-7505 x38241 1176 Howell Street FAX: (401) 841-7453 Newport, Rhode Island USA "Don't argue with drunks and fanatics!" -- Sun Wolf (Barbara Hambly) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
