I still have two AMD server motherboards deployed that don't support booting off of USB sticks. But to give an idea of their age, they were introduced in mid-2006 and mid-2007, respectively, and saw their final BIOS updates in early 2009 and mid-2010, respectively. The older motherboard should finally be retired (again) after Xmas. But I'll probably stash it in case its replacement gets taken out by a lightning strike. Again. (As an aside, I discovered the newer one didn't like USB booting when the F29-F30 upgrade I did twelve days ago resulted in a "No Operating System Present" failure to boot, and neither of my Fedora USB sticks worked. I couldn't find any blank media around the lab, but one of my colleagues had an Ubuntu DVD lying around -- with that, I was able to grub2-install the system back to life...) - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org High Springs, FL ^^ (email/xmpp) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.
