Had the wife leave it on just so I could give it a bash (pun intended 8-)) but no-go. Finally had to hit the reset button and during reboot it would do the following boot: Loading linux..... Uncompressing linux.. CRC error --System halted it would do this no matter how I tried rebooting (reset button, big red help switch, etc..) anyhow I finally got disgusted with it and just shut it down and walked away butttt... curiosity got the best of me and I went back to it after 10 minutes and viola, it's alive. >From what I can find a CRC error is Cyclic Redunancy Check but I have no clue what it means or what caused it. I can tell you that the machine has been up and running almost flawlessly 24/7 since October. TIA -- Joseph S.
