I don't... - ql2400_fw.bin is dated the 23rd of April 2008. - The latest ql2400_fw.bin.X.YY.ZZ (now found in old/) is 4.00.27, dated the 26th of February 2007. How can I interpret this in any other way but to assume that 4.00.27 was the latest available from the 26th of February 2007 to the 23rd of April 2008, at which point it was replaced with the current version (4.04.00)? Anyway. The problematic box has now been running with FW 4.04.00 and MSI active for 60 hours now, so it looks like the old FW was the cause of the instability. I'll leave it running and will let you know if any problems occur, though. Thanks again for your help! Regards, -- Tore Anderson
