RBSU does not apply, the server is ML570 G1. The boot string we were using is: defbootstr link=ciss hd=Sdsk Sdsk=ciss(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(0,0,0)      |

Check in the BIOS under PCI interrupts, and try to set them up so the 5304 does not share its interrupt with any other card. I have had some problems a while ago with card slots, is the controller in a 64bit/66Mhz slot? Mike -- Michael Brown The Kingsway Group |
