FYI for those interested: I finally gave up for now installing a dual boot system but I have discovered that while even SuSE notes that NT and their LINUX do not cohabitate well they do have a fix for installing dual boot systems. I have already successfully installed SuSE 6.3 on several of my Supermicro P6DLS based systems now and all but my Web Server box have worked fine (and wonderfully fast!). After struggling with a poorly designed GUI on Supermicro's flash app I finally discovered that it is case sensitive and seems determined to confuse you about fact that since it indcated it was working fine even when I failed to correctly input the name of the ROM file. Just a warning .... Anyways, the problem with my Web server board is a defective ROM. Very interesting since it worked fine with DOS (required for the ROM upgrade) but no MS Windows system (3.1, NT and W2K) and not even LINUX would boot up properly. So there is 2 weeks of wasted time but a wealth of useful skill and experience is gained. Now I wait patiently for the new ROM while putting another board in place. So if this ever sounds familiar, check your cases! - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
