If you're using a 1600/2500 you'll likely run into a few of those. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=14574&highlight=proliant+2500 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=16206&highlight=proliant+2500 If you need any detailed help, feel free to email me directly. -brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
