That is quite what I think as well. Here's what I am up to. 1/ The Debian kernel, which USED to have no support for my Thinkpad e1000e works fully now. Someone MUST have done something to the kernel, because I'm 100% sure that at the time of Lenny, it was not working. 2/ On our last test on the Supermicro board, it did FAIL last week. Now, I have asked my hardware supplier to put one of these X8STi-F online in order to test with it, he has been very nice, and he said he will. I'll be able to do a full test and report here. Thanks to you all for helping me to find out what's going on! Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
