Yes - ISO was the standard one from the fc2 site (2.6.5-1.358). It automatically installed the smp version. I have since updated to 2.6.6-1.438 OK. Interestingly, there appears to be a difference between the blades. The new one (as well as fc2 install not being able to see the disks) also couldn't determine the monitor type, so I selected a generic LCD display. This was good enough to let me continue to the disk partition where it bombed out. Regards... Fred > > That is interesting. The FC2 you used was the ISO image from the site?
