Thanks to Don's config instructions I finally got SOL working! It took a while before I stumbled upon the help menu which said that SOL won't work over COM1. I had to use COM2. It'll even allow me to reach the BIOS *iff* I get the timing correctly. Of course on a reboot it goes down the instant eth0 gets pulled down. -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
