Nope, it's a P4. We have lots of customers running it on RHEL3. Apparently the people who actually build the machines for shipment have just started using RHEL4. One that is already in the field was built with the original shipped CDs, which is not even at U1 level, and it works apparently fine. A new one they've just built, that isn't shipped out yet, used the U6 CDROMs, and it fails. Since it's across the country from me (the programmer) it's easier for me to debug locally, and since what I happen to have available that is at the same update level is Centos 4.4 I am working on that platform. It may be necessary to delay until I can get the RHEL4 box working again, simply so I can talk to Red Hat about it. > > > > > -- > > Cheers > John > > -- spambait > 1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ > > Please do not reply off-list > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------- "For him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
