Correct but I was still unable to get it to load correctly. The server
would start to come up then dump core. At first I was thinking it was a
motherboard problem so, since I have two of these boards, I replaced it
and the same thing happened. While there is always the possibility that I
have two bad boards, that is rather unlikely or at least the odds are
rather high against that being the cause. That leads me back to the
software. But, due to my lack of programming skill, I do not know where to
start looking. I've since replaced the onboard video with a 3Dfx Voodoo3
3000 PCI 16MB card which runs flawlessly under 3.3.6.
If you have somewhere you wish to point me to look into this further, I'm
all eyes! :)
