Bdale,

A very good point. We have a cluster of 30x 712/50's running.
Although we have taken some unorthodox steps, like running ypbind
in debug mode so it doesn't crash, voodoo magic and x-compiled MPICH.

We also have a few 712/33's running, but we mostly gutted them for
parts. I'll see if I can rebuild one this week and test on it.

We have a single 712/60 that Byron Sonne gave us (Hi Bryon!) and
it ran without any problem. The 712/60 is happily living as Node23 
right now :)

Should we attempt to track usable .config's for a given machine type/setup?
Navigating the kernel config on the 712/50's is a bit like a minefield...
you enable the wrong thing and boom!

Cheers,
Carlos.
