I'd recommend checking the BIOS level. I had several VA Linux boxes based on an Intel MB, upgrading the BIOS also upgraded the SCSI ROM, causing an incompatibility (DOH!) with RedHat 7.3. Fortunately RH8 fixed this, and the machines are productive again. I'd check the BIOS levels on all the boards, they are likely different. You could try flashing 1 non-working board to the latest BIOS to see if this resolves it, if not, see if you can recover the BIOS from one of the working boards. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
