This was due to a misapplied kernel patch, and was fixed immediately after the problem was discovered, which was unfortunately a couple of days after the OS release. There is a kernel update available from Red Hat that fixes this, but it is a little tricky to install the kernel update if the machine doesn't boot. Since you presumably still have A step machines, you should be able to install the kernel update on an Ax machine, and then move a hard disk over to the B1 machine, and then it should boot. ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/ia64/updates/RPMS Or you could try one of the other OS releases. I believe the latest Suse OS release is OK. I'm not sure about TurboLinux. The next Red Hat Linux OS release will be OK, but it isn't available yet, and I don't know exactly when it will be available. Jim
