Some random thoughts--- If you're not breaking any upgrade rules, I guess a hardware problem is possible. Maybe a physical inspection, check seating of modules, connectors,fans, etc is in order. Do the BIOS settings look OK? Will it tell you the power supply voltages, temperatures, etc? I wonder if it was working right with RH8.0, or did you upgrade too soon to be sure? Did you do a media check on the install CDROM, or better yet, has that CD done good installations elsewhere? Do you have other identical systems, so you could swap in a hard disk with any known good os (but one you could afford to lose)? -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
