Thanks so much for looking at the outputs. I will grab the new kernel. Interesting developments are as follows: I final got a RAID card I had been waiting for. I installed the card and attempted to boot the system. The system would not post. I removed the new controller and everything else. Eventually got down to one CPU and one DIMM. The board died. We are in the process of RMAing it. Hopefully this will solve all of the problems we were seeing. Thanks so much for everyone's help. If any info is needed on the LSI 320-4x on an TYAN S2880 with 2 procs and 6GB DDR, I should be able to tell soon. Thanks!

Can you try the latest ones from ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86-64/supplementary/kernel Do they work better? Andreas
