[rescue] Re: Octane woes

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

Thanks to all....

After carefully reseating everything, it seems that the mainboard is difficult
to get seated properly.  Despite the fact that the "latches" latch... it must
not have been seated that last 0.01 inch....  I pushed hard hard hard on 
the board and it seated just a little more... that was the ticket... it is
live again....

Now, can anyone say how to identify the troublesome IP30 mainboard ?

Is it expensive for a dual processor module ?  what about R12K modules ?

Wouldn't mind finding better graphics too...  ESI can have or not have
the TRAM I believe... how can I tell if I have TRAM  (w/o an OS loaded) ?
