I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. I highly recommend you download Dell's DSET or Online-Diagnostics tool to help you figure out what's going on. Of the two, I prefer DSET (Dell System E-Support Tool) much more. It takes 15-20 minutes to run, but once you run it, it gives you a bunch of information, and doesn't require any services/daemons to be running (which online-diags does) The DSET output is a zip file. Unzip it somewhere where you can open the files with a web browser, then open the .hta file in the top level with your web browser. Look at the ESM logs to see what caused your LED to start blinking orange. In my case, it has been intermittent memory errors. The latest version of DSET is v1.6, A00, dated 5/28/2008. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
