Well, if he is using the MVista supplied LSP, the config should be correct, as it was tested on a similar machine at mvista. What changed from PPC5Bug 1.3 to 1.4? There is a general reliance on the lopec for the firmware to have set things up correctly, so if there was some critical fix in 1.4, that might explain it. > The PPC6Bug series was for the Hawk based products (MCPN765, MVME5100, > PPMC750, etc..).
