Hello,
I am having similar problems to what you have been discussing below. Have
you found anything out about possible fixes ?
Thanks

Hi Eugene,
I initially had a 1.03 (1800+ cpus) and it wouldn't boot anything. However
(fortunately) the local place where I bought it had just gotten in the 1.04s
and exchanged it with no problem (they'd sold me the system as "gauranteed
to
boot").
I am/was using RH 7.2.
It does run SMP Win2K but... who cares ;-)
