(I did an su to get something into the logs to mark a starting point.) Here, I insert the tulip into slot 1. It continiously prints this stuff out, and from the fuzzy pattern wizzing by the console, it appears that it will just print out the same pattern as long as I have the card inserted. I did remove the NIC, and though I cannot be certain, I believe that log starts exactly where this pattern stops. It does print out a bunch more stuff before settling down... After that, the debug spew continues every second or so. If you'd like to see something else, plz let me know now to get it to boot up in serial-console mode (and change run-level to 3 instead of 5 as I have it set now...) > Jeff, who swears he's still on vacation :) Heh, I came back from vacation to find this lying in wait for me! :) Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear President of Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com ScryMUD: http://scry.wanfear.com http://scry.wanfear.com/~greear
