Bad cabling For what it is worth, in the recent postings I made about this topic, you suggested that it was bad cabling, I swapped the cabling, same problem.

I really think there is a software problem in there with certain chipsets, those from VIA seem to be problematic. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm
