And after testing I can almost pinpoint with 95% accuracy tha it's the new driver. I have yet to go about running the latest kernel with the sim700 driver. Though if I get some time this afternoon I will. (Just spent some time adding diskless 715/50's to our cluster) Has anyone been able to get SCSI disks that are not from HP to work on the 715's? (New terminator? Different terminator?) c.
